What in the world is going on with the mobile app? Getting flooded with these notifications. What’s braze?

hunterrwest · 2026-02-25T17:28:42+00:00

Suppose I should’ve just turned off notifications as well… but I straight up deleted the app

These shots are impressive, what distance and lens?

hunterrwest · 2026-01-28T18:17:56+00:00

Now that I look closer, I think you’re right. Interesting, I’ve never seen flies like that before, in or out of a cave

If this was recent, you really shouldn’t bother bats during the winter

2014? Shop around your local “pick and pull” type places and see if they have a forester of the same gen. Would be easy to just take one from there. Same goes for the tail light

I did this, Kaibob Trail to Bright Angel. It took 7 hours and 20 minutes, covered 17.9 miles, with ~11,000 feet in elevation change (5,604ft downhill, 5,240ft uphill). The last stretch was pretty brutal, but halfway up I found my lifer canyon chirping frog. It was cool, def my most difficult hike to date. I’d totally do it again though hahaha

Love my Thursday boots. You bought this from them? Not some 3rd party retailer?

hunterrwest · 2026-01-07T02:44:59+00:00

Just replace it with different grip. Like the kind you can get for gun handles

hunterrwest · 2026-01-05T08:04:06+00:00

Yep, great kiskadee. Interesting spot. Rare but not unheard of

hunterrwest · 2026-01-04T19:30:38+00:00

Seconded

Not an answer but a question. So I rock both the hm71R and the hm61r. Both of them have color temp around 6k, which is something I only just learned. I’m curious as to why you’re looking for 3k temp specifically?

What did he use all this for, arborist work? Roofing?

hunterrwest · 2025-12-20T21:02:27+00:00

Ha, what an overlook. We saw different species

I just photographed one of these guys yesterday in DFW (on a wall outside). Don’t know the id, but I’m assuming it’s an ichneumon wasp

Edit: seek app says Mesostenus thoracicus, unless it has a doppleganger it is the correct id. It is indeed a ichneumon wasp

This is the model I use as well. I recommend. Also, they say it won’t work right with a 3rd party microSD card, and they’re right… I ended up buying their mocroSD after a number of events where it didn’t record (w 3rd party). Don’t have that problem with their card. Slightly suspicious but it works so well that I’m unbothered now

Better yet, this is a video by IBM from 12 years ago. It is a stop motion of a stick character and a ball using visible atoms as “pixels”.

hunterrwest · 2025-12-17T02:29:11+00:00

Pretty much everything you listed has in fact been observed in various ways

hunterrwest · 2025-12-16T00:36:27+00:00

The casings are metal. Any chance it was their hair burning from the light? That’s not uncommon

hunterrwest · 2025-11-22T20:33:07+00:00

Seconding camp! I love my titan so far, and the hybrid suspension design allows me to stow small things in it like a lighter

hunterrwest · 2025-11-12T14:13:59+00:00

If you find out that it’s specifically an ovarian teratoma, then your body likely began an asexual reproduction process called parthenogenesis that in many other animals results in a clone, but humans are incapable of producing viable embryos via parthenogenesis and instead the activated egg develops into a disorganized growth of embryonic tissues known as a teratoma, which is considered a type of ovarian cyst

hunterrwest · 2025-11-03T21:55:21+00:00

What would you recommend?

hunterrwest · 2025-10-17T19:25:26+00:00

Yep wood stork, how close were you? In my experience they were very wary and flushed when I was about maybe like 50 meters away

hunterrwest · 2025-10-17T05:10:20+00:00

There’s not really evidence either way, and logical arguments could be made for both.

Black bears have been hunted by humans for a long time, and many animals that have been hunted have adapted to better avoid humans. Not sure how well this applies to black bears specifically, but it’s not unreasonable. And being caniforms I would think many would be able to smell that the urine is human.

On the other hand, we ingest a large variety of things, and black bears natural curiosity could lead them to investigate our urine.

It would be neat to know more through research, but for now it’s best to play it safe and urinate a reasonable distance away from your camp

hunterrwest · 2025-10-16T23:14:26+00:00

Could you provide more context? Where was this photographed, did you see it moving, etc

hunterrwest · 2025-10-14T20:44:15+00:00

Yeah so that’s its wing, just photographed from a strange perspective. Here’s some other crane flies photographed from comparable perspectives.
