Camping & Hiking

Cell coverage on a trail map is a suggestion, not a promise. Step into a drainage, drop behind a ridge, and you are on your own. These posts are written for backpackers, hunters, and weekend campers who want a way to call out when a twisted ankle turns into a night in the cold. What to carry, what it weighs, how long the battery holds, and the difference between a messenger and a handset when it is raining, it is dark, and your hands are shaking.
