[QUOTE="blisters, post: 325535, member: 4992"] Here's another option for general chat I use this Delorme (now Garmin) pictured for two way GPS text communication and SOS which I carry with me. It is tough and waterproof. I pair this to my phone and use the phone to text using my phone contacts but you can also text directly using the device. You can send/receive text to mobile, email even publish on social media. My missus can see where I am at any time on a web site as it drops GPS positions at configurable intervals so if something is not right and I'm not responding she can give authorities my position to 3 metres. The beauty about this device is you can relay to the authorities exactly what the problem is and get advice. Great if you need a particular snake antivenom on their arrival :Y: For convenience and redundancy I also use HF radio for comms, phone calls and GPS polling but you should have something on your person like this if isolated.
