Welcome, Cutty! This thread was a big reason for me to get out in all types of weather and really test my gear. You can learn a lot hanging with seasoned hangers, but hanging alone is a whole different education. Hope to see you keeping at it.

I never had the Spot, but because some areas I go to have bad cell coverage, I got the InReach just for my wife's peace of mine. If she's happy, I have a lot less problems getting out! You can PM me as well if you have questions.
