0:00.0	Are you an adventurer looking to take your hunt to the next level and you're in the right place.
0:05.8	Welcome to East Meets West Hunt with your host, Beaumartonic.
0:13.7	Hey everyone, welcome back and this is your first time listening.
0:18.6	Welcome to the East Meets West Hunt podcast presented by Onex.
0:23.6	So what I want to talk about today in regards to Onyx is a specific layer under their trails and wreck called Motor Vehicle, Roads and Trails.
0:33.7	So what this does is Onyx hosted roads and trail data from the United States Forest Service
0:42.0	and their motor vehicle use maps showing which types of vehicles are allowed on these trail.
0:48.0	And this layer is available for off-grid use.
0:52.3	So what's cool about that is say you're going to a hunting area, you know, whether that be

1:47.5	there's a layer that shows all the Pennsylvania deer hunting roads. So in Pennsylvania,
1:53.3	we have roads that are open certain times of the year during hunting season and they're gated
1:58.3	the rest of the year. So if you're going to scout a spot and the gates
2:02.3	close you think you're getting way back in hiking into this spot scouting and there's nobody there
2:08.5	and then you come hunting season all of a sudden that gates open this knowledge can be really
2:13.5	helpful to know ahead of time so you know what you're getting into so that amongst many
