Some of you have asked about these "man camps".  They are literally encampments where men live and work - and almost nothing else.  Here's some pictures of what their living environment looks like:

Generally there are 6 men who live in one trailer.  (Rumors of men living in actual tents instead of trailers are unsubstantiated at this time.)  The trailers have no kitchen, stove or refrigerators.  The company prepares food for the men and they eat in a central pavilion.  The trailers do have water hook-ups for bathrooms, I think two to a trailer.  The trailers are mobile, so if they need to move the camp to another location, they can do that.

Here's another picture of a few trailers together:

This picture is a little harder to see, but if you look closely, you can get a sense for the size of this camp, just outside of Harvey ND.

They just roll the trailers into a field and situate them in rows.  The men living there work in usually work in 12-hour shifts.  2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, depending on their job role.  The workers are bused back and forth to the work areas.  Usually they are working at a rig site (called the 'well head') or in a coal or other mineral mine.  It's rigorous, dangerous, high-brawn, low-brain work.  The men work, sleep, rinse, and repeat.

I took a picture of the bustling Main Street of Harvey, ND.  As you can see, there's pretty close to nothing to do, and this was on Saturday.  Harvey is one of the larger towns that has more than one stoplight.

Enough said.
