I used to run alot of ultras but kinda got burned out. I have found my groove again though and have a 25K coming up on 4/7. Plan do to an unsanctioned 50(ish)K in June as well. Hoping to work up to a 50M next summer.
I have these on my two freezers. They hook to Wifi and alert me when the freezer gets above a certain temp. I also drilled a small hole in the side of the freezer to run the wire through so its not running across the door seal. I then filled the hole with silicone after. They have been great...

So far I have done some training hikes on a small mountain close to my house and I am pleasantly...
I pay $1900 per year for a club that gets me on private to hunt wild roosters and some waterfowl. Worth every penny.
I know it isn't deer hunting, but gives you an idea.
The pockets do not seem to hang any lower than the original vest and those were no problem. I do not see these being an issue either.
