What is this satellite phone? Gonna look into that, thanks.
I've been working on all this for a few years now, starting with learning how to grow my own food. While it is all quite simple to do, the desire to do it in the first place requires a sea change in one's thinking.
Next up is firearms. I took a pistol permit course mostly to learn about guns, but think a shotgun is more suitable to the protection I think I might need - in my home.
Satellite phones connect to a satellite in orbit and beam the signal back down to anywhere on the planet...a good and secure means of communication...if the satellite is still in orbit. Check it out, it may be a good option.
As for the firearms thing...you know I have them and that I endorse having them for various reasons. It's something to consider and if done right can add a solid level of preparation in many different aspects.
