Thank you!
Thanks for your response. Yes, I am aware of their size. Would be powered by generator. Yes, some extra weight and luggage for sure. I would rather just disconnect from the world for a couple of weeks, but there would be some benefits to having it, and some peace of mind that comes with being able to connect when needed.
Always have a fail safe back up plan- in case something really bad comes up, like illness or need of some serious medical assistance to save yourself or your family. It’s happened to me.
Thanks for the reply.
Yes sir. I hear ya, and agree. I prefer to be disconnected, and then off my brain as I turn off connectivity. But honestly, I have found that the worry and stress of being out of the loop, seems to build up over the days, and thought that a few minutes each night of catching up, and staying on top of work issues would actually mean I can enjoy the next day of hunting and being away even more. At some point, I look forward to being able to disappear off the grid for a couple of weeks and not letting it concern me. This is all work related, I don’t care much about connectivity other wise. I appreciate your response, and agree with you.
Yes sir. That’s a good point.
Will have In-Reach services to stay connected with family, and the hunting camp as needed.A Zoleo works pretty good for getting texted messages out to loved ones. It's a lot more affordable than a Star link. Do you really need the internet that bad ? That's the reason I leave and go on the mountain to get away from the internet !
Thanks for reply. I will check them out
Gotta Agree With Tikka!
Chevrolet Silverado TV Spot, 'Getting Away'
A group of friends drive all over, looking for a place where there's cell phone reception. Chevy: For getting there, and getting away from there.www.ispot.tv
I wish I had that luxury. Last year I had to take Starlink, a Zoleo, and a Sat Phone. Work just doesn't function without me. I was in Utah, Idaho, and Colo all areas without cell service.
Having run a Zoleo in Alaska for the last 3 years I cannot recommend anybody do it. The first year was excellent. The second and third years were non-stop the device just failing to work dependably, often taking hours and occasionally days to send/receive messages despite clear weather and excellent open sky access even in pretty flat, treeless terrain. It happened all over on the road system, out in PWS, in the Alaska Range, in Bristol Bay, and out in the 40 mile area. Multiple rounds with Zoleo customer service and never any resolution. But they did give me a one-time $20 plan credit for my troubles...A Zoleo works pretty good for getting texted messages out to loved ones. It's a lot more affordable then a Star link.

I too had poor experiences with Zoleo. Switched back to InReach, and prefer that…
When it actually worked, it was excellent and the interface was far superior to inreach. It just didn't work consistently, and had the awful coincidence where the more I needed it to function timely, the less likely it was to work. Thankfully, I never had to use it in a life threatening situation, but I'm pretty sure if I did it would have left me to die before functioning.
Do you mind sharing the terms of the rental and costs?
