Anyone that spends as much time in the great outdoors as I do is likely to find themselves without any sort of cell signal. In most cases, that's probably on purpose, but there are often times when having a communication safety net is desirable in case you get lost or need help. A handy device called 'goTenna' provides a communication option to connect with others whenever a cell signal isn't available.The device will allow you to send and receive text messages or share the GPS location where you are with someone that has the companion device. It can work from 1 to 50 miles, depending on your terrain. An area like a ski resort is likely to provide better range than any city setting that has lots of tall buildings. I just returned from a popular music festival that would have been a great place to have goTenna to contact my friends as the cell network was so jammed with traffic and virtually useless. Learn more at: https://gotenna.com
