I am sure others are wondering, "Where is this Wilderness Waterb Way ?
"
Where I live , any time you leave the populated areas or the main
highway the cell is a sometimes thing.
I pack survival stuff, a marine VHF that is likely useless as well,.
flares, the cell is there in a plastic bag.
The answer here is a sat phone. I don't have one of them but my day
pack is substantial.
