[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2661611, member: 69192"] Thank you very much for the well wishes. Just this morning I texted to a friend who is deer hunting in Maine, and....he is close to 80 years old. He said that he was sitting in a bog, with 6 inches of snow and he's freezing his --s off!! He's had double by pass surgery, total knee replacements on both knees and a recent heart ablation, but....he's still out there hunting and freezing his --s off!!! The InReach is a great tool, I am not sure if there are any better ones out there, but...this is what I found and it worked for me @ $400. This past bear hunting season I needed to get picked up because of the really nasty rain storm that came in. Ordinarily I would have had to hike up a 1/2 mile hill to hopefully get phone/text service. I walked out to the drop-off place, found the open sky and texted the guide, she got right back to me without any issues. I hunt with my son and another guy (my other son) who are both 53 YOA. When my "other son" saw the benefits of the InReach he bought one for himself because he too had experienced the lack of communication where we hunt.
