Nice idea—sniffing a beast out before it shows up would save a lot of “oops” moments. The tricky part is getting a sensor that can differentiate a wild creature’s scent from a pile of rosemary. Maybe a portable, low‑power olfactory array that flags a threshold could work, but we’d need to keep it from blowing away in the wind. Also, think about how the data’s stored—no one wants their beast‑tracking to become a target for prying eyes. The math’s simple, the hardware’s a bit of a puzzle, and we’d have to keep the cost low if it’s to actually help people out on the trail. Let's sketch some specs and see if we can prototype something that won’t choke on a breeze.
