Fighting boredom in all day sits.

Early morning and late afternoon prime time I get in the zone and tune into the woods. I fight mid day boredom with a kindle. Easier on the eyes than a phone, quieter and harder to lose your page than a book. Dont have to read non stop, just break up the time. I only hunt when the wind is right and spend all day to make the most of it. On days I only have a couple hours and the wind works I hunt a stand close to the edge so I can slip in or out easier.
 
I've done literally hundreds of all day sits in a treestand. I've brought books, but never wind up reading them.

Many years before high tech cell phones, I was just sitting there with my own thoughts. Later on with cell phones I would wind up sucked into social media. Now I live out West and seldom sit for long stretches outside of hunting migrating mule deer. This year I played a game called "Water Sort" it is also what I play when trying to fall a sleep in my sleeping bag in the back country. I highly recommend it.

If I had cell service I'd probably check Rokslide periodically.

Recently been listening to a podcast in one ear. Obviously it limits hearing an approaching animal on one side, but better to at least be in the stand. Lots of good content from the shoot2hunt podcast from here, among many others.
