[QUOTE="Northeast, post: 653212, member: 8209"] Yep, when I was in WA in June that’s what we used it for too. And definitely marked camp each time I headed off which I did end up needing once, even though it was just to confirm that I definitely was heading in the right direction - I had a terrible feeling I was a little more geographically confused than I really was 😅 Yes, trusting the phone is a big one, but trusting anything electronic has a risk. Brother in laws Sat phone died 2 days into the trip for no apparent reason. Thankfully he had an epirb as a last resort. Still had to drive 120 k round trip to let the girls know that we wouldn’t be checking in every night. A good thread though, it is interesting to hear what works well for others 👍 [/QUOTE]
