Well, hello, everybody. For all of you who clicked on the thumbnail, because it says, prepare for Civil War, and you thought you were going to get a detailed and emotional and enthusiastic description of our impending destruction and doom, I'm sorry. The title was totally clickbait, because it's not how I feel. And I really wish people would stop

talking about it in those terms. And that's actually what I'm going to be talking about.

So I'm sorry to disappoint. Before I get into that, we have a Friday sponsor for this episode

and through the remainder of the year. It's called Spartan Forge. I'm going to go to their website

right now.

And for those of you who are video, you can tell what the app is without me describing it.

For those of you that are audio, well, I don't know how to help you. I had the founder of Spartan Forge on Bill Thompson.

He is incredibly intelligent. A lot of people would say this is a

hunting app. Even though I'm in hunting season right now, I tell you what, I'm using this far more

for things outside of the hunting world. So I'm going to scroll down and give you an idea of what

this app allows you to do. We're talking about terrain, study, contour lines, property lines, weather. And one of the features

that I think is critical is it's very close to a blue force tracker. You're able to create a boundary

and share individual movements inside of that. And this is kind of similar to what we used to do

overseas, but it really can help you

coordinate inside of groups, individuals, groups, sharing pens, however you want to skin that

particular cat. It helps coordinate in numbers that are larger than one. Another thing I should

really like about this is the LIDAR and the 3D maps. I have been using this more for helicopter stuff than anything because looking at a traditional map, especially if it's 2D, it's really hard to tell what the terrain features are going to be like.

And then if there is foliage on top of that, it's even harder to tell sometimes.

So you can compare these images left and right and take a look at what LIDAR is actually

showing you there. And it's giving you an idea of the slope in the case where I'm looking for in

helicopters, the flatness of the terrain absent having any of the foliage on top, which I think is

awesome. So if you're a hunter, I definitely recommend the Spartan Forge app. But like I said, I have actually been using this for far more things outside of hunting,
