Drew a elk tag as NR and looking for best way to obtain weather reports in back country. How is cell service in areas and is there better option? Looking at southern and western general units at this time.
I use In-reach weather reports, but when concerned I also send a text by In-reach to a buddy back home that knows weather patterns and what to look for. I simply type "Weather?" and he replies with anything that I really need to know about like Thunderstorms or snow. Otherwise we just take it as it comes. It's so unpredictable anyway. I always have my rain suit in my pack cuz the rain showers come over the mountain in a hurry.
