replying to @eddieG805 @eddieG805 @RCGibby73 That's what I am here for. Also put your emergency info in your dogs pack or harness in case they run off and find help first. #GearMeOut

replying to @eddieG805 @eddieG805 A8) Try to keep your distance while being quiet & respectful of others on the trail since for the most part, we're all trying to get away from it all on the trail. #GearMeOut

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival It depends it does give us freedom to be lazy but lazy will always hurt you, I suggest you always back up with oldschool ways leave a plan, check in, keep your skills sharp #gearmeout

replying to @RachelTheRamblr @RachelTheRamblr I recommend just keeping your phone on airplane mode. That way the battery lasts longer and you don't have to worry about being tempted into checking notifications. #GearMeOut

replying to @RCGibby73 @RCGibby73 Yah, I hear that. There is most definitely something special in going out by one's self. Things about yourself that you just don't learn or realize until it's just you & Nature. :)

replying to @UST_Survival @UST_Survival A9) I do like some gadgets like my @TETONsports hydration pack, laminated guides and folding binoculars. Otherwise I'm pretty basic on the trail. #GearMeOut
