#207160 - 08/28/23 01:09 AM Emergency phone......or radio?
rabbitearscarver member Registered: 06/10/11 Posts: 27 Loc: Steamboat Springs, CO	I have been told in no uncertain terms that traipsing around the backcountry alone with a full pack at age 70 is no longer a good idea. Maybe it never was, but I've been doing it since I was 19! So what's out there for emergency phones or radios when there's no cell service? What are my choices? Thanks in advance! _________________________ I before E except after C....Weird!
