We had close encounters with rattlesnakes 3 times in HC. When you are 20+ miles from anything that has a resonance to it. I was glad to have it. This getting messages and pin-drops is a whole other realm of use beyond the "save my ass!" button and under the circumstances, I like it a lot. I'll certainly carry it elk hunting this year. Why not? When I think back on all the potentially close calls I've had in the deserts and mountains in my life I gotta think, now that I'm getting old as dirt 'n shït, a little backup isn't the worst thing.
Rode 24 miles with my buddy this evening. Combined with taking the first nap I've taken in years, I feel human again. We did dinner here and a bunch of 12-oz curls after. All the shop work sure makes those 12-oz weights seem light and effortless. Lol
