Gear that gets used · 2 min read
A whistle for the walk out
A whistle for the walk out. It is smaller than the day, and that is the point. Look at a whistle on a zipper first.
At the truck
Then put it on the coat you will wear. Mark the turn-around time before you mark anything else.
The slip
Watch for a whistle in a pack under other gear. If it is already true in the parking area, it will be worse a mile in.
The check is the whistle is on the coat. Fail it and you are done for the morning. That is a successful use of the note.
Keep gear that gets used boring. Boring means you came home with the same people you left with.
A field note, not legal advice. Check the season, the species rules, and whether you have permission to be on the land.
