Saved by a HAM

[VintageDUG]

I travel DVNP and many other areas, usually solo rig and alone. I start with a good plan and share that with my wife. Then I have a Garmin InReach that I test before losing cell service. I have a mount for it on the dash that I can reach in case of a rollover or flop. I put it in my pocket every time I leave the Jeep, even if it's to water the bushes. Lastly I carry my Starlink system if I am planning on an overnight or longer. Elon allows me to call home from anywhere I've been, plus check weather conditions and update my mapping software if needed. I have a ham radio in one of my rigs, but I'm honestly not that great using it. You don't really need to learn anything to get a license.
