@flagscott Thanks a ton! That Audubon looks like the closest I'll get to an all in one, I do better with physical books and am thinking along the lines of knowing my surroundings if SHTF if that makes sense. I used to play in the woods up in Oregon as a kid but never really learned how to use what'...

I am looking for books to identify birds, animals, plants and tracks while out on my adventures. I have no clue which ones are worthwhile or not. Ideally it would be one that is specific to the southwest, although I'm not sure if it would be one book or multiples.Thanks in advance!

@flagscott
It's from a Northern Red-shafted flicker.

@flagscott
I emailed the US Fish & Wildlife Service about collecting feathers for my hiking journal or making a charm for my bags. I wouldn't want to get in trouble!

It's from a woodpecker...

@lindaagm
Definitely not alone, we saw some poor bird had gotten it and instead of being like "poor thing" we were more "ooh feathers!"

@rcorfman
Sorry! It's about 8-9" long and about 6" wide. With the antlers it stands about 8". Hope that helps a little! My friend has it so I can't measure it directly.

We found this skull up on Mingus Mountain and are trying to identify it.

@JasonCleghorn
Haha, I thought of that when we finished the first half! It worked great but I thought turning on airplane mode would turn off GPS like everything else. By the time I hit airplane mode my phone was at 48%.

I just used Route Scout for the first time with my phone and it died roughly 2.5 miles from the trailhead. The trail was an out and back and I would like the full distance logged. Can I add the remaining distance? If so how? I tried adding tracks under the edit mode but I can't seem to get anywhere....
