Tools of the Trade
By Andy Anderson
When the microwave first debuted in 1967, the average cost was two to three thousand dollars and were as big as a refrigerator. Now, they are as big as a toaster oven and cost around a hundred bucks. Technology and innovation are constantly evolving, the same as the hunting industry. From clothing that blocks your scent and blends you in with natural surroundings to scopes and optics that are clearer, more stable and see farther. There are two items that were once available only to the military that are now accessible to civilians: night vision and thermal imaging.
These two optics have transformed night hunting overnight, and by that I mean literally. Cost was a huge handicap for the average Joe. A good night vision scope used to run $20,000 to $30,000; thermal twice that. But, with the new technologies improving processing and lowering production cost, a decent night vision scope or binocular can run $400 to $800. Thermals are now between $4,000 and $10,000.

Delicate microbes buried just beneath the surface. We walk by them, unbeknownst to us. Spores, spawn, and sclerotia, each with distinct characteristics. It is said that these fungi are all connected, speaking to one another as they populate the earth. The interconnectedness of all living things and the decaying world, such beauty lies within these otherworldly alien organisms.
