Another high-tech method to stay in touch. I'll be watching for release of this one for sure. They say it will be available later this year. Have any of you seen more information about the Iridium GO! unit?
I rented a satellite phone for hunting last year, and it was good to have that connection to home - especially for my wife's peace of mind. The tech specs don't include its weight, but 4.5"x 3.25" x 1.25" is smaller than the satphone I rented.
