SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
One of the main attractions of free-camping is getting away from the big cities and finding an isolated camp without all the crowds . The problem is that you may not have access to things like the internet , mobile phone networks or even television , where you might get a warning of a change in the weather or some form of natural disaster , such as a wildfire or flooding heading your way . This is why I always recommend you have with you some form of link back to civilisation .
Satellite-based communications such as Starlink or VAST television are great for keeping in touch with the outside world , from anywhere in the country , but they can be expensive . Text-based global communicators , such as ZOLEO , are much cheaper and still enable you to contact the outside world via text messages . They can even access local weather forecasts .
ZOLEO is a great way to stay in touch with the outside world while free-camping in remote areas
