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

The in-reach is great. That reminds me - I need to reactivate mine.

Got my first hunt of the season in yesterday morning. Unsuccessful spot & stalk bear hunt. Didn't spot one, so I didn't stalk one, which means I didn't shoot one.
However I sure felt strong going up the hill into the mountain basin here in the Cascades. Even if it wasn't a "backpack" hunt - it was a good, steep, short hike and some glassing. This conditioning stuff works. Am sure I'm in better shape than last year already.
Thanks for helping with the motivation guys.

^ good deal- the hard work is paying off!
3 miles on the trails with Tiny E; I'm packing gear/food for a two day 60-ish mile fastpack into the Bob Marshall- we're going to take trails along the full length of the Chinese Wall and then attempt to get on top of it and take it back off trail- should be fun!

Quick hike before breakfast today. Started from home, got 6.3 miles with a 1600' elevation gain in two hours.
Good sweat, and a decent pace. NICE day for hiking, but starting to warm up now.

Hot here too. Cyn crossed 100 miles today. Ankle holding up, was getting really sore feet though so I brought some Superfeet Green to try. She repoterted back they are helping a lot. Just workin'. I will say, upper body in general feels strong and good, which makes sense, it's getting worked daily. I did start a savings account for a new boat and seeded it with $5k, so at least I exercised some bad judgement! Badda boom crash.

Is that a Zpacks tent? Chinese Wall in the Bob Marshall Wilderness; Tarptent Aeon Li- pretty new design- 16 oz all in (including stakes!) for a full shelter including mesh netting, bathtub floor and a decently sized vestibule almost makes a tarp/bivy obsolete
