haven't heard this yet, so AA battery powered cell phone charger and spare batteries for it are on my must have list for all hunting.

early elk season...I always bring a book.  I do a lot of sitting and listening.

Most of the areas we hunt a cell phone is only good as a backup camera ;)

I have zero service on my areas too, but my cell phone is my GPS.

There are two spots where we hunt elk that if you hop on one foot, spin counter clockwise, open you mouth slightly with a 20 degree tilt to you head you can get a pulse of coverage when you fart.  Sometimes that's enough to send a text on a clear day :chuckle:

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Fantasy Football?  Selfies?  I've got more self respect than that, I hope! :chuckle: 

Next thing you know I'll be expected to post my every stupid action on Tweaker or Faceplant :o

I carry mostly all the same as you guys. A few things I've added to my pack that weigh almost nothing are; quick clot and a small tube of super glue. I cut myself all the time and the super glue is as good as stitches most of the time.. Takes up almost zero space as well..

If I really need some good luck,I leave my backpack at the truck.I have killed multiple deer and elk when using this method. But it sure makes me do a lot more hiking :(
