Effectively, I never worry about getting good 4g or 5g, I only worry about how to mooch on some available free Wifi

FWIW, as long as there are Grizzlies in the area, you are newer getting me to take my family way out in the middle of nowhere without cellphone coverage.
Ham radio is your best option in those cases.

No, I think the Chrome spinners are to keep the Grizzlies away. You would have to be Macho man to venture out in the Montana Wilderness with a big Ham radio like that. Talk about a Grizzly attractant, might as well just lay Salmon all over the Ham radio

I have never connected that Yellowstone was in Montana. I once went fly fishing in Bow River in Banff Canada. It was kind of crazy to be 70 degrees and look up at the snow covered mountains. The river water was kind of cold as it was coming off the mountains. The water was so clear, the odd part was to see the trout swim between your legs while you cast that fly line. I think I could have caught more with my hands or net than the fly lures; but I was with a guide and out of country, so I had to behave

Hey that sounds like a good idea. Montana sounds like my kind of place can't see anything stopping me from scheduling a trip.

Nevermind, I changed my mind; I can't see me ever going to Montana.

You're going to miss putting up that 50 foot antenna and forgetting to take it down while driving down the interstate
