Geography
Red Dog Mine is located at 68°04′19″N 162°52′34″W. It is in the DeLong Mountains in the remote western Brooks Range about 90 miles (140 km) north of Kotzebue and 55 miles (89 km) from the Chukchi Sea.
Red Dog Mine is very isolated. It is located within the Northwest Arctic Borough, an area approximately the size of Indiana with only 11 communities, none connected by roads, with a total population of only 7,208 people at the 2000 census. The nearest of those communities are Noatak, population 428, roughly 50 miles (80 km) south and Kivalina, population 377, roughly 60 miles (100 km) west at the 2000 census.
Although native populations have historically used the nearby area for seasonal food-gathering, there are no permanent residents at the mine or the port site. The mine's workforce consists of about 460 employees and contractors, of which somewhat more than half will be on-site at any given time. At the mine, everyone stays in the single large housing unit, tucked in among the process buildings near the edge of the open pit, while a small portion of the work force stays at the port site.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 66.9 square miles (173 km2), all land.
Does it have wifi?
I hope so
No wifi = no deal
Depends on how much it pays

the lifting 75 lbs thing is shittier than it sounds....I used to lift boxes of paper all day, varying from about 20 lbs to 72 lbs....after a few hundred of the 70 pounders, your body felt it
Depends on the shape too, some awkward sizes are a bastard to carry whereas the same weight in a small package is a lot easier
