Not that I go anywhere when camping in the wilderness areas that I can't find my way back out. <br /><br />Only an idiot could get lost the places I go. Next week I'm going down Woods Road to do a little camping, after a night at the casino.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681840922010817231.post-77888250591912473332011-11-29T20:58:48.471-08:002011-11-29T20:58:48.471-08:00Thanks for the great post about what a SPOT can do...Thanks for the great post about what a SPOT can do. It really sounds good that you can send a check in message, and have more options up to calling for full rescue. That really clears up a lot of mystery about the whole thing.<br /><br />It is encouraging you have been able to use it even with a tree canopy. We have enough trees around here on the North Olympic Peninsula that it would seem that if you did need help, it likely could be when you have tree cover...<br /><br />I really appreciate being able to learn so much from you about preparedness. You have raised my awareness enormously. I never used to really think about stuff like this, but I'm not getting any younger, and although I have never had an "incident", I can see the wisdom in the approach you are teaching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681840922010817231.post-57596155083728195862011-11-29T18:17:21.260-08:002011-11-29T18:17:21.260-08:00Never heard of a the SPOT Satellite Messenger and ...Never heard of a the SPOT Satellite Messenger and not feeling the need for one. <br /><br />Once in a while I lose my position on my GPS because of heavy cover or being on the south side of hill but I don't care, to me I'm just farting around out there.<br /><br />I find my GPS most useful when boating in the fog. Or for finding a Harbor Freight store in a strange city.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.com
