I've had so dam many cameras, have a couple Moultrie now, but get a crap load of pictures of nothing. I ordered a crenova from Amazon for $69 so far it's been awesome. Keeping my fingers crossed!
I've bought a couple pairs of kenetreks on ebay, you can usually get them near new for half price. If you know the size you need I've never had a problem.
Definitely check out the Millennium M-150. I have not used one, but definitely look very comfortable and will purchase one soon. I have used alot of hang on stands with the flat foam seat, they're not very comfortable for long sits, so gunna upgrade to Millennium.
I also think it went through here a couple months ago, 60 kids out of school with all the symptoms. Our family had it to, fever cough body aches and so on. Kinda weird
Some outfitters do drop camps. Pack you and your gear into one of there areas and then you do it on your own. Have never talked to anyone who has done it though
I'd say if you don't try it, you'll never know! Like said already YOLO!!!
Im in my mid 30's now and always think back when i was going to go to the guide school and never did, now I regret not givin it a whirl.
