Tuesday Tip for April 12th, 2011

I know as outdoorsman we hear many people discussing safety.  Although today's tip deals with safety  it deals more with the mobile phone and why I believe it is the one piece of equipment every outdoorsman should have on them.


I hope you enjoyed this weeks tip.  If you have tip suggestions or comments do not hesitate to comment below or e-mail me at rb@rbwrightoutdoors.com

Thanks for your follow.

    I had actually asked a question like this on my blog regarding cell phone apps for outdoorsfolk a few months back. Got a lot of different responses, but nobody even mentioned the safety aspect. Great post & tip.

    RB, thanks for the reminder. My wife, Stephanie and I use this every time I head to the woods. In fact, I use Google Maps to "drop a pin" on the location on where I'll be prior to leaving the house. In addition, I can "drop another pin" once I arrive in the woods or at the camp site once I arrive. This way Stephanie knows where the boys and I are.

    Here is an example... I have "dropped a pin" on our home in Southern California. http://goo.gl/maps/kjAj


    We also have a standing Emergency Procedure that if she doesn't hear from me within 24 hours of the time I leave the house that she is to contact the police department and show them my Google Maps "pin location", what time I left the house, drive time to the location, truck description, license plate number, cell phone, etc...

    We have found this makes everyone feel better about our hunting trips.

    Michael - Thanks for the comment. I went back and reread your post -- good stuff as always. I have to say there are so many new apps available and some are great for the outdoorsman...but I really spend so much time on phone that when I am in the field - I do not want to use it unless it is an emergency! lol

    Kerry -- Great Example bud! Thanks...wife saw it and said -- "I think you should start doing that as well..." Always learning - always learning.

    Thanks to both of you.
