Don't get me wrong, I love my gadgets, but anything electronic, with batteries and not waterproof could cost you your life or a long unplanned stay in the wilderness.
Sound wisdom! Speaking for myself this is REAL hunting with REAL danger and possible potential life threatening situations. In the wild you better not trust your life to some gadget because if you do you could end up deader than the game animal you are hunting. Plus it is an unneeded distraction as the poster said about fumbling with his phone when a deer showed up. This of course is just MY opinion!
Live it up! Doug
