1. Be honest about the empty state. When nobody's live, the site says so. We'd rather lose a bounce than fake a 24/7 channel. The empty slot points you to the schedule, replays, and the trail cams.

2. Trail cams fill the gap. Three PTZ cams in Laurens County, SC stream when awake. An aim director snaps them back home when they drift, and Phase B learns where animals actually appear (an 8×8 heat grid from tagged sightings with a 7-day decay) so home slowly moves toward the action.

3. Two taps to go live. The supply side is regular hunters and anglers, not media pros. Going live has to be faster than opening the camera. Creators keep 90% of tips via Stripe. We also pay for scheduled slots to bootstrap the guide.

4. Aggregate, don't wall off. Creators can list a YouTube, Twitch, Kick or Facebook live URL. It shows on our map with a source badge, next to native streams.

5. Protect the spot. Every pin is fuzzed to about 8 miles. Nobody burns their honey hole for a stream.

We're live on iOS and Android, and watching is free. What we want feedback on: retention between live moments. If you've solved that in another niche, I'd love to hear how.
