So folks I see all this talk about "GPS this", "inreach" that, sat phone this, hunt-x iPhone something....
Well I can tell you I am familiar with using a very basic GPS to plot a course or keep track of position, and I have used the Hunt-X app for finding landowners in the name if waterfowl hunting, but other than that it's always been map and compass type deals if I ever get lost.
Well it looks like because of everyone I know being super busy, there is a high chance that I will be all alone out there in the elk woods this year, so therefore I must ask, is there like a "satellite communications for idiots" guide?
Like for instance, the thought of having a land ownership or unit map in the palm of my hand sounds really nice, while also having something to tell people I'm okay or even send an SOS signal would be even better. Is this all capable under one device or should I just add an emergency SOS beacon to my pack and go on doing what I've been doing for so long?
