Helicopter operator numbers
Local DoC Office or officer details
Sometimes even the dates I was in that location

I've forgotten most of what I have learned about these areas
Especially real world track times when going in heavy and going out even heavier

my google earth map on laptop has pins all over it...most of the kills in my hunting block over 30 years,makes interesting viewing and gives an idea where animals hang out and dont.
