Forest Inventory Fashion
Donn dons the latest in forest inventory fashion, testing out the iPad Mini version of the chest pack. Now everyone will want one.
Tablet-Ex-Gear iPad Mini Chest Packs Now Available
Just ordered mine. We've been waiting for the mini version to come out. For those foresters who like chest packs, this is the one designed specifically for the purpose. $129.95 USD. I've spoken a couple times with Brian Saunders, the designer up in British Columbia,...
Drone Fun
Maddy and I visited the Society of American Foresters meeting down in Asheville, NC, showing Forest Metrix to a fairly sophisticated group. While there we met up with a client, John Culp, who flies remote control helicopters on the side, sometimes even in service of...

Tradeshow Graphics Came In
Our first graphic came in for the background for our launch tradeshow booth. Our focus group of one exclaimed, "It's huge" over and over again. So we know the size is appreciated, but, then again, she's under three feet tall. We will be launching Forest Metrix...
