It’s a bit more fiddlly than the inreach (I have a Mini2). Others thing about the mini2 is it has insane battery life, versus a phone (unless you go airplane mode, etc). I also wonder how much longer the satellite messaging will be free…I’m betting it will at some point cost extra. that said if I already had not paid for the garmin I probably wouldn’t at this point. And I’m probably not getting good value for my money given how many times a year I am truly out of cell service. But for now I still pay for the Garmin service. it won’t be long till there won’t be such a thing as “off the grid” or “out of cell service “ … the death of that freedom

Thank god I procured 3 of the memberships.

That third pic fromn the bottom.....thank you for sharing as usual!

Wait….rat has a fing blog??

On a road trip in Idaho and Montana and came across this hat in a thrift store in a little town in Montana when I stopped in to get some steak knifes. Got this and three steak knifes for $2. Thank you Steve and RIP.

Dan I will help you! Let’s also get your phone off here it will get scraped and every bit in the universe will be calling you!

I would love to read the essay @Otto

That poetry.

It’s all about belaying, not about the climbing.

Wow!!!

https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/registers-canisters-a-grand-northwest-tradition hopefully people are replacing the actual register rather than taking to container down… I mean I think they are cool. Sometimes you see notable names in them, or a name of a now deceased climber of note.

That sucks…especially those old brass Mountie registers. Is it possible the Mounties are retrieving them themselves? But probably not unless the replace it with a modern container…
