simple, do lots of outdoor stuff. A lot of the more recent grads seem terrified of actually being in the bush away from the rest of the world. Get used to not having internet 24/7. Get fit, get used to bugs. Also firearms training comes in handy. PAL holders get hired more easily because they can be usually trusted with things like bear defense in camp. Last year I worked with a group of guys fresh out of VIU's geology department and they wouldnt shut up about the bugs, about having bugs in their coffee. Another handy ticket to have is first aid level 3, its an in demand ticket that every camp job seems to need now because of helicopter mishaps.
