Hi I am seeking out your
feedback on the safety equipment ie communications - we may need to consider for a trip along the Darling in NSW.
I have read a lot about Sat Phones and HF radios etc along with CDMA phone coverage.
What is considered as "must take" and what is considered - "just in case" in term comms .
hope you can assist

Satphone "ET phone home"
Normal phone "I can walk to town"
CDMA "I can walk to town but its a bit further"
HF " I can talk to a network of people..maybe."
EPIRB "I'm in danger of dying...get me outta here !"
Well maybe not quite, but it does cover it quickly :))
