Satphone experiences...

Having fun...?

I've had truck campers for more than 40 years... most of them in the boonies. Never needed a cell phone or a sat phone...never been scared of the dark, that the boggie man was going to get me... nothing. Just always went with the idea of self rescue.

As you get older you'll find that some of the things you enjoyed make good memories... but aren't realistic... then if your still adventuresome you'll find alternative ways to continue using your campers.

Now as a lot of you get a lot older you'll still be mired in camper parking lots with creeps and kids, drunks and druggies piled on top of you... you won't leave... you have already paid for the space...

Some of you will take down your flag poles and seperator fences that you have in the campgrounds and make your campers into yard orniments.

There are some of our truck camper friends that do some rough country... and they post trip reports showing how remote... but there aren't many. I enjoy their reports. I don't know of any that carry sat phones... most are adept at self rescue

I think that California surprised me more than any other state... high tech expectations.. but the tinytouns in the mountains aren't big enough for a cell tower.

The interstate system has cell towers all across this land... most of our members will never be out of range.

Once again... how much does a sat phone cost ... how many days a year will you be using it...

Will you really need one for your blog about your flag pole in a campground?

For that matter... do you need PVSolar in a campground?

Sleep... but not afraid.

How about take a chill pill....
If you never need one why comment on a forum subject regarding it? Specially when you think anyone that disagrees with you is an idiot. Just don't comment and go back to FOX news watching.

And just cause I5 and I90 have cell coverage does not need we dont' need it where we are going.

The posters and myself want to learn about them.
