Did you people ever venture into the scary woods before cell phones were invented?

Did you people ever venture into the scary woods before cell phones were invented? Yep, sure did! Also way before mobile meth-labs and tweekers. Animals don't scare me. Some people cause concern.

This! I got one for cruising my boat in remote areas where cell service is rare or nonexistent. Then I realized that the InReach Explorere can take the place of my Garmin GPS PLUS it has a 24/7 monitored SOS capability. Goes in my fanny or backpack whenever I'm out there by myself. It doesn't work near has well for GPS as a Garmin unit. With that said Garmin bought that sector of delome... I would suspect big changes in 2017. I was going to buy a second one but think I will hold off in case the come out with a gpsmap64 type combo unit I haven't even heard of these...I am very intrigued! I will definitely be putting this on my wish list from Mrs. Clause this year...or maybe I'll wait until BOBO gives a review on the 2017 model..... Ross the good news is I bet they start discounting them at the end of the year. I don't think the will do away with base model (SE) though. I'm speculating on 2017 but the writing is on the wall. Only reason I don't like the GPS function is because for a true GPS map it bluetooths up with your phone. My phone already does that. A simple back track($60) has same GPS system. With that said the SOS, family tracking(depending on your plan) and texting is priceless, Not just for your family but a peice of mind for yourself on how things are going at the home front. But for a peice of mind it's cheap insurance. Very cheap in grand scheme of things.

I prefer to hunt alone - that way no one to blame but myself if I strike out or things go south. Just use your head.
Just got back from 3 days of bow hunting black bear alone and way back in the boonies (no bears harmed - looking for a rug maker at this point but will tag out during the last week with whatever I can get). No cell coverage and 8 hours by canoe and 3 portages from the nearest road. Time like that in the bush alone helps keep my head on straight when dealing with jacka$$es on the job.
Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.

I'm on a lease with 6 guys total and it gets hard to get our schedules in line so at least 1 other person would be able to be at the lease the same time as me. I don’t mind filling feeders alone but to do a whole hunting trip or any real heavy work seems like a bad idea just because of safety. Maybe I am just over thinking this but would like to hear yalls thoughts on being all alone on your lease or land bad idea or not a big deal? I'm assuming a solo backpack wilderness elk hunt is out?

I won't even think about hunting unless I have at least 35 of my closest friends with me.
