The reality for pretty much all of us is life is busy man and you got to hunt when you can.

0:04.6

You know we all got a job, maybe you got a job of wife, kids, whatever the case may be, time is limited.

0:09.6

If there's anything I've learned from a lot of these guests that we've had on in the past that you've got to make it count and you've got to be efficient.

0:15.5

One of the ways that I've been able to improve my efficiency drastically this year is by using the wind calendar feature on on X.

0:22.7

Basically the way it works, you drop a pin and you say I want to add a wind direction for this pin.

0:27.2

To hunt this I need a Southwest, South or Southeast wind.

0:31.6

So I add that to that pin and it automatically shows up as a little icon above that pin that tells me the wind direction and it shows up either green, red or orange.

0:40.6

Obviously green is good, orange is okay, red is bad.

0:43.8

So what this means is me having an 8 month old at home.

0:46.5

If I get three hours during the week, maybe after work or something to go get a quick hunt in, I can open my on X and instantly see which stands have a good wind form right now.

0:56.2

So that means I can grab my stuff and go.

0:58.4

I don't have to open four different apps to see the wind direction, I don't have to do any of that.

1:02.2

I can immediately see it on on X and I've already done all my planning beforehand so I can be efficient and as soon as I say okay looks like I got three or four hours to get out there real quick.

1:11.1

Boom, I'm gone and I'm going straight to that stand, I'm not wasting any time.

1:14.7

1:29.4

Get the gift you actually wanted this year, you know, I know a lot of guys out there can relate to me.

1:33.9

This Christmas you probably got a whole bunch of underwear socks, maybe some t-shirts stuff like that.

1:37.9

That's all nice and good, but you know, if I could have shopped for myself, I would have got myself something from Vortex apparel.

1:43.0

I've actually got a whole bunch of Vortex apparel and it is really nice stuff.

1:46.4

I'm actually wearing some of their shorts right now, their workout shorts are really nice.

1:49.8

They got a shirt called the rucking shirt, it is a freaking awesome shirt for scouting or working out in or just wearing around the house.
