Oh that's cool, like the Garmin Mini. I've been getting pressure from my friends and family to get something like that now that I'm middle aged, but still do a lot of back country backpacking. There's no cell service just past our house, so we have GMRS radios. A 50w base station at home, 4 watt handy talkies, and a local repeater we can hit. My wife and I are studying for our ham licenses right now, since we can use lower frequency signals and more power with ham than with GMRS. I'll check that device out that you shared. Neither ham nor GMRS are adequate where I go backpacking, and a lot of loved ones want me to be able to send a location beacon while I'm in the back country. The Garmin Mini is more money than I've wanted to spend, and yours looks affordable. Thanks!
Quads are good fun too, man! Especially since you can strap an ice chest to the back. I used to ride quads in the Sierra Nevadas a lot when I was younger. We'd all strap an ice chest to the back and fill it to the brim with beer. I know... I know. It's not safe to mix alcohol and motorsports, but man is it fun!
