Re: Motorola Defy Satellite Link
the 'Somewear' folks have been providing a similar sat hotspot
add-on device for some time now.
InReach is more expensive but it's also self contained, with an
add-on you need to maintain 2 power sources.
if the cell phone vendors fully integrated 2-way satellite
connectivity that might help, but that may also just push prices
higher.

I am curious about these questions:
- What is the battery life?
- Can this send bread crumbs out for location data?
- What is the cost of messages - outgoing and incoming? Per
message? Or how many messages until being charged?
Granted, this is a huge price drop versus the other systems out
there. I will wait for actual reviews and contract information
before pulling the trigger.
I can say one thing very positive. Motorola is known to have the
better radios out there. So it would be more interesting to see
how fast it makes a satellite connection and speed of messaging
system.

Re: Motorola Defy Satellite Link
I'm a Spot user and this definitely would be a cheaper?option.? ? I looked at the Bullitt site, the company that provides the SOS feature, and it wasn't clear to me if when used without a cell phone in an emergency it has a built in GPS to provide a location.? Also, I like the automatic tracking of Spot so if you are incapable of hitting the SOS button for any reason, or the device dies, your last position is available.
I'll definitely look into it further as I'm sure features will be added or become more clear as they begin entering into use.?

I hope this makes Garmin drop the $30 annual initiation fee.

When I checked the YARTS site I linked to the route from the map, . That page only lists the 395-3 and 395-4 schedules.
You probably used the "Routes and Schedules" link which eventually leads to a pdf, with 2 schedules in each direction. Hopefully the pdf is accurate and they'll update other page.

Re: Mile... Mile and a Half
Great photography and fun trip. I didn't like seeing all the campfires - decidedly non LNT. Could believe those pick weights but they were carrying all that equipment!? convinced me that if I do the jmt again I'll do it in Sept again.?

Re: Mile... Mile and a Half
Good movie.
Took me back to my JMT hike. Very similar camping stops. Although I did notice they put their tents up on grass several times. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with all the snow they did.
I was a little surprised that I was a day ahead of them most of the way after Reds Meadow, but since I stopped at Trail Camp on the way down, they finished in the same numbers of days as I did.

Awesome Movie. I watch it every winter as I see this as an essential hiking season prep effort ;-)

Re: Mile... Mile and a Half
In the crystal ball gazing contest of snow predictions for this summer, my current bet is “similar to 2011”. So… Mile - Mile and a Half conditions!
