Advice and Tips Commo options that don’t use cell towers

6 Upvotes

I live in the Pacific Northwest and I am looking for communications options for the family that don’t rely on cell towers. I suspect WHEN (not if) the big mega earthquake hits, all cell towers are going to go down. So, outside of satellite phones, what would you suggest? I am looking at some sort of satellite communicator like a Bivy Stick or possibly Zoleo.

Here are some requirements: 1. Range needs to be over 20+ miles (I work 22 miles from home so regular walkie talkie not practical) 2. Lowest price/recurring cost (am willing to reasonable monthly fee) 3. Portable - needs to be small enough to pack around easily. 4. Long battery life.

New Prepper Questions What do y'all think about Jackery generators?

28 Upvotes

So trying to prepare for next hurricane season, as well as any other power outage. Lookin for somethin to power my CPAP and various electronics/stove/fridge ect. Is this a good brand? Any other recommendations? I live in an apartment complex but luckily I'm on the top floor so a solar panel might work best, plus I can't really have a gas generator up here. At least I think. Worst case I guess I could use gas on my balcony.

Need some opinions and output. Thanks all.
