height=\"12\"><span class=\"style2\">Communications Equipment in the Wilderness<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nFor Hunting, fishing, hiking, boating or cycling<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nBy David Leonhardt<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nCommunication in the wilderness is a matter of survival, as well <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nas convenience.  Before even leaving home, communications must <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nbegin.  In fact, our first two communications tip do not even <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nrequire equipment or gadgets.  <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8220;Make sure that somebody knows when you leave, when you expect to <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nreturn (or get to your destination),&#8221; advises Chad Brown, owner <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nof Farm And Field Outdoors Equipment Auctions ( <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.farmandfieldauctions.com ).  &#8220;Provide as much <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ninformation about your route as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThings can happen.  Rocks can fall on your head while hiking.  <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nBoats can tip over.  Firearms can malfunction.  Somebody needs to <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nknow that you are late in arriving&#8230;and where to send search <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nparties to find you.  In fact, this is the same advice I used to <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ngive drivers in winter weather when I was spokesperson for CAA <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nOntario.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe second tip is to never head into the wilderness alone.  Just <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nas one should never go swimming without a swimming buddy, nor <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nshould one go long-distance cycling or hiking, nor hunting, <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ncamping or fishing in a remote area without a buddy.  <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nMy wife&#8217;s uncle took the business end of large falling branch on <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nhis skull while out in the forest, knocking him unconscious and <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ncracking his skull down the middle.  Eventually his skull will <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nheal, but only because he had companions to get him into town.  <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nOtherwise, he might still not be found.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nHere is another report, this one from the New York State <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nDepartment of Environmental Conservation about a fall from a tree <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nstand: &#8220;The subject had no communications equipment with him. No <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nphone or radio. If the subject had left word of where he would be <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nand approximate hour of return, a response may have been quicker. <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nCause of Death: The subject suffered a broken shoulder, multiple <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nbroken ribs on one side, a punctured lung, and a punctured <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nspleen.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThis is hunting equipment?<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nAssuming you are still conscious, it helps to have some <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ncommunications equipment while out hunting, fishing or camping.  <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nOf course, there is the ever popular cell phone, which brings <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ninstant communications to almost everywhere in the world.  Except <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nmaybe your wilderness trek.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nBut there are many places where cell phone range covers your <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nfishing lake or hunting woods.  The best part about a cell phone <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nis that, even in the wilderness, you can have utterly normal <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nconversations with pretty well anybody.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8220;OK, darling.  On my way back into town I&#8217;ll pick up some milk <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nand peanut butter and&#8230;wait!  Was that a whitetail?  Gotta go.&#8221;  <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nClick. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nNot only that, with a cell phone you can even catch up on your <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nemail while crouching in your tent or scaling a cliff, with an <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nemail to phone service, such as http:\/\/www.email2phone.net .<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nA two-way radio is a much surer piece of equipment, because it <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ndoes not depend on the cellular network to connect.  The downside <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nis that you get to speak to a much narrower range of people: <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nother two-way radio owners.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8220;Hi there, Big Bear, do you read me?  Can you get a-hold of my <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nwife to see if I have to pick up milk and peanut butter on my way <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nback into town?  Do you copy?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nBefore you leave on any outdoors trip, it is wise to check the <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nweather forecast.  But the weather forecast can change quickly, <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nso a cell phone or radio serves another purpose.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8220;Whaddaya mean thunderstorms and hail?!?  I just got here, <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ndarling, I don&#8217;t want to come home just yet.  Oh&#8230;alright&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nOf course, you could just have someone email the weather forecast <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nto you on your cell phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nChad Brown also advises keeping a very loud whistle hanging from <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nyour neck.  If you are trapped under a tree, pinned down by a <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nboulder, or wrestling a grizzly bear, you might not have reach or <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nthe attention span to dial a number.  If anybody is within <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nearshot, they will come running&#8230;if not to help you, at least to <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ncapture it for &#8220;America&#8217;s Funniest Home Videos&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nOur final tip might seem obvious, but make sure you know where to <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ncall.  Have the emergency number taped to the back of the cell <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nphone (ignore your wife&#8217;s idea of tattooing it to your forehead; <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nwhere would you find a mirror in the middle of a ravine?) and <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nmake sure you know what frequency to call for help on the two-way <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nradio.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThere you have it.  You are prepared to go out into the wild and <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ncommunicate.  And if the animals don&#8217;t understand what you are <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\ntrying to communicate to them, you might not be any worse off <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nthan in the city.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nDavid Leonhardt is a professional website marketing consultant: http:\/\/www.seo-writer.net Get your hunting equipment at: http:\/\/www.farmandfieldauctions.com\/hunting-supplies.html<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nGet your fishing gear at: http:\/\/www.farmandfieldauctions.com\/fly-fishing-gear.html<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nGet two-way radios: http:\/\/www.farmandfieldauctions.com\/listings\/categories\/index.cfm?category=7<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n71984645<\/p>\n<p><b>This article is free for republishing<\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/td>\n<\/div>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"article_bio\">David Leonhardt is a professional website marketing consultant: http:\/\/www.seo-writer.net Get your hunting equipment at: http:\/\/www.farmandfieldauctions.com\/hunting-supplies.html<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nGet your fishing gear at: http:\/\/www.farmandfieldauctions.com\/fly-fishing-gear.html<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nGet two-way radios: http:\/\/www.farmandfieldauctions.com\/listings\/categories\/index.cfm?category=7<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n71984645<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nContact him at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.farmandfieldauctions.com\">http:\/\/www.farmandfieldauctions.com<\/a><\/td>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n            <\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"left\">\u00a0        <\/p>\n<p>&#13;\n      <\/td>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n    <\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<hr width=\"800\" noshade=\"noshade\"\/><a href=\"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/ADSENSEWEBSITES\">RETURN TO ADSENSE BUSINESS-IN-A-BOX MASTER ARTICLE INDEX<\/a><\/p>\n<hr width=\"800\" noshade=\"noshade\"\/>\n<div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/\" data-layout=\"button\" data-size=\"large\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fon-line-interactivity.com%2F&amp;src=sdkpreparse\" class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n<script async=\"\" defer=\"defer\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v4.0&amp;appId=103650273035821&amp;autoLogAppEvents=1\"\/><!-- End of FACEBOOK SHARE BUTTON CODE --><span class=\"style6\"><br \/><span class=\"style2\">\u00a92019 - All Rights Reserved by <a href=\"http:\/\/HelpMeFindFreedom.Online\">HelpMeFindFreedom.Online<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.website.ws\/kvmlm2\/my.dhtml?sponsor=geekzonehostingcom&amp;bannercode=gif002&amp;language=english\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.website.ws\/images\/english\/banners\/kvmlm2\/468x60_02.gif\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n<\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; \u00a0 &#13; \u00a0&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Article Navigation &#13; Back To &#13; Main Page &#13; &#13; &#13; \u00a0 &#13; Click Here &#13; for more articles &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Communications Equipment in the Wilderness &#13; by: &#13; David [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-adsense-business-in-a-box"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5735\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/on-line-interactivity.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
