Why I carry a Zoleo Satellite Communicator

[TrailJustin]

I spend a lot of time off the grid in the pack county. Living and outdoor life style of hunting, fishing, and camping. Sad to say I have also had my share of close encounters in situations that were not so great. With that being said I invested into a Zoleo communicator to carry with me. Yes there are similar products on the market but let me give an over view of why I like this one.

1. GPS+ tracking - this thing tracks my movements and sends and update every 5 minutes to my wife where I am. This is often when I am hiking ponds for ducks or deer.
2. Normal Phone Texting - I am not limited on pre sent messages. I am able to use the app on my phone to have a full conversation.
3. Cell Signal + Satellite - This devices when it has cell signal it will use that if not it switches to satellite seamlessly. What this means is my communication method does not change the device changes for me.
4. SOS - If you ever have to use the SOS function you are able to chat with someone on the other side to diagnosis the problem before help is dispatched so the level of response can be judged.

I have had this device for ever a year now and I carry it every day in my pack. This is because in a grid down scenario this will also be helpful to have if the cell towers go down. This is all part of a chain I try to keep of being prepared for situations.
