[QUOTE="Buckrun, post: 14249, member: 51"] If you watch the cell phone commercials, the "red" coverage, it doesn't happen anywhere in southern Ohio! That's kind of cool in it's own way. My cabin and most things around it are off grid! Personally, that's a good thing! Thanks for the advice! I will adopt your rope strategy and carry some rope. Early June, by chance, some ATV'ers rescued me when I went into a deep gully with a swamp at the bottom. I made it down, across, but buried the rear wheel trying to get up the upside! Took off my helmet and tried to get the rear wheel suction-locked in mud! It was raining. Hard. It was getting late. I was soaked, my boots weighed 1000 lbs, I was F'd! I was in the middle of nowhere. Up comes a couple of guys on 4whlrs. Way lucky! I Flag them down. They park above the swamp and with 100' of rope, winch my ass out of certain doom! I followed the trail with them to the next town, New Athens, and bought them some beers at the General Store! :banana: True F'n story! :ride: I would have been in the hurt box walking 15+ miles in 1000lb boots thru a devils snatch back to my cabin! :ride: I couldn't imagine spending a night out there!
