Damn! Yes! Super duper awesome! I was hoping for a video showing your entire gear. Thank you!! I've been having fun learning about backpacking for sure + vehicle camping as well. It's all so intentional and minimalist and practical and has a great vibe to it for me - like essentialism. And resourcing! Simplicity. I was excited to learn Instant Pot (which does so much and can be used with a vehicle if someone is up for plugging it in or has enough power bank or solar) can dehydrate!! I doubt it'll fit what you all's dehydrator can but is worth a shot...just got it 2 days ago. P.s. Video idea #1: Why did you pick tent instead of hammock, tarp, or bivy? Video idea #2: Do you enjoy sleeping in trail shelters? Or no? Why? Video idea #3: Why did you choose ultralight? Did you try lightweight or traditional weight first? Maybe I should just start a podcast and invite you to an interview there. 🙂

Remember that GPS, even on phones don't use cell service (except for the maps that you can just download before going out), they use satellit singles which are everywhere. Not having reception is not really a concern. Having a backup isn't a terrible idea though. In my case I have a phone as my main way of navigation and my inReach as a backup. Sometimes I have a paper map.

Inreach is better than just a GPS cos you can message people as well, like a text message and call for help. What 3 words is just as effective as a PLB. I think these were just like overnighter type things, so they’re probably in well used areas etc so mega safety etc isn’t needed.
