Just wanted to put this out there, not to debate the pros/cons of being disconnected from the world, but accidents do happen. In the spirit of being prepared, what communications methods do you use when overlanding/camping?
I use the following:
Icom ID-5100a dual band ham radio (call sign W4NMS)
A small CB radio that connects to my 12v cigarette socket.
A Wifi hotspot with an 8db gain antenna for 3g/LTE signals when my phone just will not get a solid signal.
I did use a spot for a while but discontinued the service.
