Scrambling the Ridge Below Pfiefferhorn

Posted on August 26, 2018August 22, 2024 by Backcountry Fever

Here’s what you can expect when scrambling across the ridge just below Pfeifferhorn.  Most of this traverse is about 15 feet across that I was able to do one-handed as I held my new GoPro in the other (no chest/head mount yet).  There was only one very short spot (where this footage cuts from one…

Posted on September 29, 2017August 22, 2024 by Backcountry Fever

To tell, or not to tell: that is the question: whether ’tis better to share the locations of outrageous beauty for all to enjoy, or to keep these destinations a mystery as if you are the only one privileged to know. What a dilemma we face today on social media with taking pictures, posting them…

I think the SPOT App is lost with a mobile strategy that’s on the road to nowhere! If I’m the end-user with a SPOT device out in the field, I am not needing the mobile app to show me MY location.  Much of the time, I’m out of range for cell service anyway… so what’s…

SPOT for Remote Tracking and Emergency Communication

Posted on December 26, 2011August 22, 2024 by Backcountry Fever

I just activated the coolest Christmas gift ever… a SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger! Now when I go into the backcountry, my wife doesn’t have to worry about me getting stranded or lost without the ability to call for help.  This will also come in handy when we go out exploring where I can see two…
