My wife is old and crippled. I am neither.
Her imagination is vivid. And she is anxious.
Not a great combo for an adventurer.
I recommend to all of you to consider a satellite communicator.
Brand hardly matters.
You can dictate a message into your phone and send it in any format you like.
If she’s convinced you fell off a Cliff, you can send confirmation of life in 2 clicks. Then forget about her.
Turn it on a few weeks before a season, get used to sending messages or receiving them, and then turn it off at the end of your season, then do it again next year. You won’t regret it.
There are all kinds of other reasons to use one, but I’ll bet 99% of the men out there toting a In-reach, are secretly doing it for that reason.
.
Out there doing it best I can.

There's also an element of risk in hunting alone. I had a couple incidents. One was where I high centered my 4wd pickup trying to track down a young dog that went wandering. Had just enough juice in my cell phone to make an emergency call for a tow truck. Didn't find the dog, but he showed up a couple days later.
Potentially worse one was breaking a foot while pheasant hunting alone. Well, I wasn't entirely alone, but the Brittany and I were half a mile from the truck, and I couldn't convince her to go fetch the truck for me. Didn't have my cell phone with me that time. Managed to hobble back to the truck.
I always have the phone with me now, plus a charger in the truck to make sure it doesn't go dead on me. Simple stuff. Larry, the places the cell phone won’t work are invariably full of pheasants. Make note of it. Years ago, I knew that length of pig fence was in that spot I hunted on New Years Eve. It took tripping over it, to remind me it was there. It was a spectacular, slow motion kind of fall, right onto my chest, but I did get the Nitro elevated a bit before impact. Lucky there weren’t any rocks, and the impact was startling, but, not too hard. I might have been paying more attention to the ground had a rooster not flushed from the edge of the wood lot, swearing in rooster speak at the dog, as he left. I didn’t have a shot at him, but, sometimes you get more than one up at a time, so, I was trying to hustle. For naught, as it worked out. It goes that way, sometimes, late in the season. A bad day hunting is still better than a good day working. Best, Ted

Rework it for Elon's satellites, and you can still trot it out and not look so damn ignorant in addition to your arrogance. good grief you need to get out more.

The tired joke that you took hook, line and sinker?
Best,

.....You work so hard at trying to find ways to insult me.... You give yourself too much credit. It is easy, flushing out a hypocrit. Just kidding prof, us gun guys gotta stick together.

I know the loss of hunting and shooting buddies, some of who I loved like a brother. But let’s face it, it takes a little effort to make new friends. If your limiting yourself to shoot or hunt with a small group your eventually going to run out of companions. I’ve shot with numerous new acquaintances this year and made several new close friends. Don’t be hesitant about introducing yourself to a fellow hunter/shooter/newby, you may make a new close friend.
Dodging lions and wasting time.....
