Life in the mines can be tough and unforgiving but with a bit of planning and smart everyday carry, you can make your life easier.
We all know that miners are already expected to take their gear wherever they go — like underwear, lunch box, water bottle, boots etc.
But what about those things that make life just a little bit more convenient?
