If you send a text message to a group text with five other people will that count as one message? Todd

I found this site that gives some good info. He writes off the safety plan because it doesn't work for him. But I think that is what we will go with on the annual plan because we don't have an off season. Also read the comments some good info there too. Knowing the free preset messages also...

We have been looking in getting an Inreach and am getting some mixed information. Of course the SOS is one of the reasons we want one (that we hope to never use) but my wife wants it so out kids can reach us by text message if they need too. I like the idea of the breadcrumb trail. I read...

Thanks for the info. We have been looking at Inreach, but I am not a fan of monthly pay plans. I will be adding ham at some point (I have a local test in a few weeks I hope I can make) was hoping APRS would work as well as Inreach. Only so much money for this type of stuff. My wife likes the...

Cool, welcome. We have quite a few people central PHX and out west. A few of us have been talking about three meet ups, west side, east side and Tucson. Maybe twice a year have a meet up for all three, maybe with a overnight somewhere. It's been slow going but that is the end goal. There is a...

Jon thanks for seeing this and replying, We'll make sure Shawn knows about the next one. Todd

I saw the Off Grid a few years ago at Expo. Looked like a well built camper but I didn't like the sterile look. I get enough of that at work. I like some wood. I can see if you live in a wet place not have wood. The other thing was the axle position. When I built my teardrop I spent a lot of...

Okay you decided you are going to head out Friday after work and be back Sunday afternoon/evening for work on Monday. How many hours will you drive for a weekend trip. Do you get stuck in heavy traffic heading out of town and again back home? We have done everything from camping 7 miles from...

When you say some type of air, are you talking to air up your tires? If so that is the thing to do first. There is a thread here on building a CO2 setup, then get a small compressor for backup. I wish I would have got that sooner it makes a big difference on ride. Todd

When I made mine I just did for two tires at a time and it works great. I can do the two lefts then the two rights then the two on the trailer all from the back or the Jeep. I used the press on type and they are great. I'm still using a compressor but have everything for CO2 but the tank. Can't...

McFates would be ideal but they now have a $250 fee for the room. It will be easier when the temps get a little nicer. So places have party rooms you can use for free but most want 20+ people to use them. We have had 8-16 so far. Bulldog Canyon is in my backyard and I've only been there once...

We have an idea for a Saturday afternoon into the evening meetup. Those that want to camp can. We just need to find a Saturday that works. Might be in a few weeks or later next month. Todd

The first meet up we had some people from the westside and they suggested they would do one month on the westside and we would do the other on the Eastside. I don't know what happened to them so we have just been doing it on the east side. I have been looking for a place more centrally located...

Nice write up. I was just thinking of asking a few question on APRS this morning. 1. Can you send and receive text messages? 2. Do you have to be a ham nerd to make all this happen? Of can it be somewhat plug and play. I'm on IOS. 3. Can it be a replacement for Inreach? I can see the...

We just had a meetup in Gilbert last week. I though you were looking in Phoenix or westside. I have been holding a meet and greet in the east valley for the last 4-5 months. We will have another next month, maybe something sooner. Watch this thread or the Rally Point for more info. Or shoot me...
