SOTA Mountain Goat "CRAZY Bone" paddle

For something special for my MG-SOTA event I couldn't resist doing something fun & crazy for this upcoming event. So I made this Crazy Bone 'touch' paddle from an old Elk's neck bone vertebra found on Sheep Mtn a SOTA summit. Surprised how well it plays! May have invented a new Q-signal QEB ...please send with your other Elk Bone key! 😂 🐐 😎

Where did you go, Steve? I love your videos. Hope all is well with you.

[@ffp1974]

I miss seeing your videos. Any new ones coming?

[@ffp1974]

Are you ever going to video a sota/ hike again?

[@ffp1974]

what are you using for the electronics?

[@goathiker]

I'm using a tiny PCB from cwtouchkeyer.com/ it's stuffed in the spinal cavity of the vertebra ...not very elegant but it works. The 9vdc battery is taped to the bone handle again kinda kludgy but well worth the fun-factor for the event!

[@saintarctangent]

I wonder if Steve's ok. No videos for too long . . . .
