DMDana M.Same over here. Grunt call working better than the bleat this week.
Teach them the why,
not just the where.
By the end of a season your kid isn’t asking where to sit — they can look at the wind, the terrain and the pressure and tell you why a stand is good today. Everyone you send into the woods gets home, and you know the second they’re out — and the safety chain is free for the whole family, whether it’s the two of you or everyone sharing ground.
In short
Ember helps family and youth hunters learn the why behind a good stand: the Breakdown explains each score in plain English, safety check-ins tell you the moment they’re out, and a shared journal builds a season you keep together. The safety chain is free for the whole family; Pro is $99.99 a year.

Teach the why, not just the where.
Every stand score comes with the reasoning behind it — not just a number to hand a kid and say “sit here.” They see the wind, the terrain, the pressure, and start reading the ground themselves.
not just a number
The Breakdown
Six real factors — weather, terrain, moon, time, season, and the ground itself — explained in plain English. The lesson is built into the tool.
Offline satellite maps
Satellite imagery of your own ground, downloaded before you lose signal — hand a kid the map and they can find the stand themselves.
Live weather & wind
Front timing, wind direction and pressure, read against each stand — a running lesson in why today’s score isn’t yesterday’s.
Works with no crew
Know they made it out.
They check in on the walk to the stand, check out on the way back. You get told the second they’re out safe — and if they’re not, so does anyone else you name.

Riley hasn’t checked out.
Checkout time was 8:00p. Checked in at the east stand.
8:00p — push sent to Riley
8:30p — text + automated call to Riley
9:00p — calling you, the emergency contact
even if they’re out alone
Check in, check out
One tap on the walk in, one tap on the way home. Ember knows the moment they’re overdue.
Missed check-out escalates
Past the checkout time with no check-out and Ember starts working the list: a push, then a text and a call to them, then a call to the person you named.
Your person, not a club roster
Name yourself as the emergency contact. It works with no club and no crew — just a kid, a stand, and someone at home who gets told.
Works with no crew
A season history you build together.
Every sit, every sighting, every buck scored from a photo — logged next to the stand it came from. It outlasts a phone that gets replaced or a memory that gets fuzzy after a few years.
in the record forever
A journal that tracks pressure
Log every sit and every sighting. Ember tells you when a stand needs to rest — a habit worth building early.
Sighting log
Every deer seen, dated and placed on the map — a running record of what showed up and where.
Deer & antler scoring
Score a buck from a photo and keep it next to the stand it came off — the first one and every one after.
The Camp
Raise the next season together.
Swap what works — first sits, first tags, keeping kids safe and hooked — with other hunting families in the Ember Hunt Camp on Facebook.

Questions from hunting families
Is Ember good for youth and first-season hunters?
Yes. The Breakdown explains why a stand is good in plain English — wind, terrain, pressure — so a new or young hunter learns to read the ground instead of just being told where to sit.
What’s free for the family?
The whole safety chain — check-in, location sharing, SOS, and the automated alerts that flag an overdue hunter — is free for everyone in the family, forever. Pro, at $99.99 a year, adds the teaching tools and more emergency contacts.
How do the safety check-ins work?
Your crew sets a checkout time — 8 PM out of the box, and a solo hunter is a crew of one. Miss it with no check-out and Ember works a ladder: a push to you, then a text and an automated call, then voice calls to your emergency contacts.
