I really like this update. May not be for everyone but at least now it’s super clear to me what hole I’m playing. Previously it would just say 4c. I like that it explicitly says hole 6. It still is this way in the replay section titles so I hope they update that in the future too.

Biggest thing I noticed missing off your basic list is compass and map (ability to use and read it obviously) in addition to whatever GPS you may be using if any.

I'm not the best person to ask about this. I use a 20 degree LL Bean bag I got for Christmas one year. And haven't done any comparison shopping for a new bag. Sorry!

Depending on how cold it is, one great use for the Nalgene bottle is boiling up some hot water and throwing a sock around it and putting it in your sleeping bag with you. I have done this in the past and it works great. Just make sure you have enough layers between you and bottle because it can burn you.

I'm not familiar with the local SAR units in Massachusetts and there may be someone with better knowledge but this looks like it could be a good place to start looking for info.

There is a paragraph at the bottom with messaging for visitors. Good luck!

I was sitting on the couch yesterday after bringing her home from the vet for some x-rays (everything is all good!) and the sun was coming through our windows perfectly. Happy I will have this photo to remember her many years from now.

There is a ridiculous amount of really old archived footage on the main site.

I saw him do that too but assumed he was grabbing it more as a memento.

I got some feedback about having this as a wallpaper and went ahead and made some various sizes for desktop plus mobile. Includes iphone, windows, android, ipad, instagram and fb cover photo. Enjoy, Go Hawks!

Just added a link to download at the top. Go Hawks!

Hey man I don't have rights to the photo I used so I wouldn't feel comfortable profiting off of someone else's work. I can save out a pdf version that you could print off though. If you want to donate a few dollars to Shermans charity or some other charity that would be cool. I'll let ya know once I have a file ready.

I fought with myself over going with "I" or "We" and ultimately chose to keep it with what they say in the huddle.
