On my overnight bivouacs, I keep the Sound Devices remote control (CL-1) in my 
sleeping bag so when I want to record I don't make all those swishing noises 
reaching for the recorder. I'm 75' from the mics, but still quite audible. The 
10-second pre-record buffer (44.1 & 48K) was luxurious for that. Recently I've 
changed to 96K, and the buffer is only 5 seconds. Just enough, but my 
half-asleep brain doesn't work very fast and I miss the ten seconds.
