F.J. mentioned a piece over at the Tiny House blog: Idaho Sheep Wagons. BTW, in SurvivalBlog, I’ve previously mentioned a modernized incarnation of these wagons, from another maker: Expedition Range Camps. (Complete with photovoltaics!)

A reader mentioned a less than favorable review of the IsatPhone Pro in a yachting publication. But reader P.N. notes: “I think the reviewer had a defective phone (mine’s never just shut off) and may not have understood the need to aim the antenna more carefully in fringe areas. I don’t think most of his review is at all relevant to land-based emergency communication, though, except to whatever extent a person might worry about the reliability of the handset based on a single report of failures.”
