Here is the next stanza in my whole song of dumb questions.

We are traveling to remote areas.
We hope to get to Mitchell Falls and such places.

As remote as these places are though how "in the middle of no where" are they?
I presume from just reading this forum and such that wherever you go (especially counting in the factor we have 3 small kids) there will be somebody passing you within that day. Nowhere we go we will be stuck for a week without a passer-by.
Right?

So do you really need a UHF or Sat phone when traveling?
Are they just peace of mind?
When you hit a roo or get a flat in the middle of nowhere what are the chances that nobody is going to pass you within a few hours?

Obviously this is a question from somebody who lives in a large city. But please be gentle with your answers.
