    I have the older model the inreach se, so far it is still holding up. I take mine with me on the road or camping.  Good to have for an emergency. 

    Good to hear it has worked well for you! I got the 66i because I wanted to be able to load the OnX chip for private property lines. I haven’t had it very long, but I have tested it some. So far, the InReach has worked well when my cell phone doesn’t . Next month I will take it into the Sawtooth mountains of Idaho backpacking. I’ll let you know how it does.

    Found the go fund me page that explains the man died from fatal injuries trying to navigate the canyon to get to the road. The female ha da severe ankle injury require surgery.  I simply think they made a bad navigation error and got in very extreme terrain and had a mishap.  According to the timeline on the page if they’d stayed with the car they would have been found an entire day earlier.  Assuming it had gas they could have even run the ac periodically to stave off heat trauma

    Sad. I agree... sounds like they got into some rough ground. Leaving the car and going off trail was a risky move. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out well.

  3. I have my grandfather’s 721 in 300H&H. Fantastic rifle and caliber! He killed many mule deer, elk and a multitude of whitetails with it. Ammo is expensive and hard to find. You’ll want to reload for it if you can. I did see several boxes of ammo on the shelf though at the Cabelas in akworth GA. Prices were $49 and $75 / box of 20. Not many people buying ammo for that caliber though, so that’s a plus. I’d get it for sure.

    I believe that driving for a recreational purpose is listed under essential activity.  Keeping social distance in mind.  Based on that, and that it is an individual recreational activity, there is a turkey in trouble Sat.

    So does this pertain the latest stay at home order? My boat is already on the river in a slip. I was planning to do some fishing tomorrow. Dont want to get intercepted :hiding:

    I’m not exactly staying at home if I’m on the river...

    I'm on day 6 of employment and finally got my computer working.  Also, I'm happy to report we put our house on the market Friday and had a full price offer accepted within 24 hours. We then disinfected anything people may have touched. 

    I'm honestly shocked people are still buying houses but I guess the rates are too good for some to pass up..

    We just sold a rental house. Had two full price offers, and one of them upped it above our asking price 😀 It was on the market a week. We just put the house we live in on the market too. People are still buying, but I’m super reluctant to let a bunch of people walk around inside my house 😬I just hope it sells quick!

    If she's a flight attendant, wouldn't her employer have guidance on what to do in this situation?

    It wouldn’t hurt to contact the FA supervisor or FA union (unless she works for Delta... no union). Depending on the company, they can have a wealth of resources. I’m a pilot, but my company’s guidance is essentially to self-quarantine and call my doctor. They do offer any assistance as needed though.

    The coronavirus (CV) is unlike any SHTF scenario I've read about... it's almost SHTF in slow motion...  so I've decided to set a $2,000 budget and start prepping for CV.

    I occurred to me that this is something we all should do, although our budgets might be different so I decided to start this thread. Let's assume that we already have several handguns, long guns, ammo, and a couple of weeks of food, but not much else. 

    How would you spend the money? You can go over the budget a couple of thousand, if necessary.  

    Oh, and what would you do that you wouldn't do normally?

    I would start by getting more than a couple weeks of food. Water, generator, gas, cold and cough meds....
