Hi All, I do believe you have me sold. I see a good cell phone in my future. Maybe I can hook up my lap top to boot! After giving all of the posts thought, consideration and meditation, And after thinking back to my 10 day to three week camps, often alone, in the forests, I find that I believe the better condition of man, is as a social being, as opposed to a solitary isolated, non trusting, fearful, kill or be killed being, that is so often exhibited in today's news & world. At least I hope this is the case. 95% of folks I run into, have always been willing and happy to help, share & be in the same space with others. This said, Yes there have been lonely times, all alone in the forest! Many. It is a hundred times better to share the experience with others! I think this is why this list is so popular! Not just the mechanical help. The camaraderie, the worldwide brother/sisterhood. And I'm happy to have been a part (although small) of it, for the past 7 or so years! Thanks to All of You !!! JC.... Hi JC,

It isn't always possible to talk to someone on a cellphone. it might be late, or there might be a difference in time zones; or whatever. Email might be less personal, but it has its uses... like sending pics, or files or....

Free wireless connections are cheaper than cellular. Flying J truck stops offer wireless internet as well.

Like Larry said, for some people the Vanagon *IS* home.
