[Sportsandrec] what to take with you when camping

[Timothy Clark Music]

you guys are forgetting about portability. 
 the ham can be portable as well as the shortwave. 
 for example. i'm actually listening to my shortwave as i write this. 
 my shortwave is so small i could put it in a cote pocket. 
 you can get ham radios that are around the same size. 
 not bolky at all. :) 
 hope this helps to clairify things up a bit.

Yes, generally bulky, and someone who can actually help you needs to be listening. To replace these I use my smart phone with the "find my phone" feature activated. Even if you are out of cell range, the GPS will still pick up a signal, and that signal is what these "find me" apps use. Then, I simply give someone at home access to that account. If I don't return at the prescribed time, this trusted person can activate the lost phone feature and give rescue my location (or the location of the bear that ate my phone).

Is an all mode weather radio a specific kind of weather radio?  We have a weather radio at home, but it has to plug into an outlet.  And did you mean fire starter kit?
