Great video subject. I mentioned in one of my videos that I carry my cell phone since I’m always out solo. Phones have come a long way. I’m on a 25 cent/minute pay as you go plan with just a phone & basic camera? My phone photos don’t look anywhere near as nice as yours so I always need to carry a camera. I was going to ask about the battery life but you covered that. Who would have thought. When we went camping as a kid I never heard Dad say “better not forget my phone” :-) )
