I once had my kid when he was 13 go up and act like he was opening to the door to one such establishment.

I took a pic of him and sent it to her with the caption "Teaching him young".

The got me a flurry of increasingly angry texts.

It didn't help my cause any when he got home and started telling her about the poles and stages.

She's pretty easy going. So I usually don't get in too much trouble. That one I did have to sleep in the garage for a night.

Unless you are some kind of whiz kid with your phone and can tell if it is or isn't, if someone is asking, assume it's on there whether you allowed it or not. Was at a conference once and lady speaker told us....then showed us.......she had put that on her daughter's and mother's phone without their knowledge or consent. She seemed to think it was within her rights to keep track of them.

It's very easy to turn your location sharing off. It comes in handy sometimes.

We all have the Life360. If I go down in the woods, it’ll be a fast way to find my carcass. Beats waiting on circling buzzards.

Faraday bag will stop the trackers. Course as soon as you want to use the phone again, better do it where you want to be

Never bothered me, felt she cares enough to check on me especially when I'm out alone hunting or trapping, I think thats a good thing ! Most of the time I just give her a time to start worrying and that most areas do not have any cell coverage any way !

She never checks up on me while I'm in the city proper, though I do let her know if I'm going to be late on something that is planned for the same day or evening

I don't check up on her either !

Never been embarrassed about it !

Not a shot. My wife would never ask, but she's told me stories about her friends and such that have this stuff. I told her if she ever required me to put a tracker on my phone, I'd just throw it into Lake Superior and be phoneless. I don't take the thing anywhere with me anyway, so it wouldn't do her much good.

I'll readily admit that technology advances have done a lot of good for society. But I'm very against being constantly reachable and having my location watched.


Go outside and do stuff.

Well, probably gonna make you mad, but you ought to be ashamed of yourself putting her through this crap Jeremy. Dangit. If you havent gotten this out of you system earlier in life like most of us then there is something seriously wrong here.

aint no way to put sugar on this and make it any better. Get your crap together partner and take care of that bride and your kids. this is unacceptable at any level.

your butt is better than this. Norman is a POS and he is dragging you down. get your head outta of your butt and your mind outta them cool beers. I think the world of you but you have taken this crap way too far. and dont try to call or text me about this because you darn well know what you posted from her text to you is correct. get your crap together and either get some help or accept that you are making a huge mistake.

I am most disappointed in you and I hate I had to say it here. but, it had to be said.

I have the Life360 app. She only looks at it when I’m on a hunt or a hunting trip. So if I don’t check in she can send rescue crews to come find my dumb butt if I’m lost or injured while out in the woods.


She don’t have time to babysit.

Diane set some sort of tracker on a friend of ours phone, after he had a heart attack while baling hay, so we can find him if something goes wrong. He will be 77 in October. He has some neuropathy in his feet, that causes balance issues. He still does a lot of work on his farm and other ones and we want to be able to rescue him if he needs it. Plus we give him rides back and forth from where his equipment is pretty often and he may be back 1 1/2 miles from a road.

If I die out in the outdoors everybody that knows me will know I took my turn at dying doing what I love. No thanks on the tracker. If somebody wants to know where I am they can call and ask.

Personally, I would rather nature take care of my dead body, than someone making money off my demise .

A lot of times I don't hear my phone. My boys across the room will tell me hey dad you phone is ringing. I ask where its at and they say sound like in your pocket. Bad hearing sucks

Any vehicle made anymore has a tracker on it, weather you use it or not!
