Two Year Old Mystery Solved,

I can rent a satellite phone for $100 deposit and $20 a day. If alone and no cell signal, that's very, very cheap insurance, and you're nuts to not avail yourself of it.
 
People with no real experience at HAVING to live "out there' (which I have) for long periods think this stuff is entertaining. I consider it a major pita and little more. I only do it to teach my wife and daughter, and to remind myself of how badly it sucks.

No. You're nuts not to just buy a lighter and more effective SPOT than to spend that kind of money on a rental. And don't mistakenly think you are the only one who has lived "out there" for any appreciable time.
 
CME, Coronal Mass Ejection , [when the sun barfs, ] Been there , done that . The big ones are incredible .Wipe out all kinds of communications.

JVC You don't need a CME just go up the Delaware river ,in NY, Mongoup to Barryville .There is NO cellphone service [except for the Park Service system ,for their use only]. 2M amateur radio also doesn't work .for any emergency on the river or rt 97 ,you have to go up to the mountain top to catch cell phone . The NPS was supposed to provide one for us peons but Gov't agencies don't careabout us !!!
