Born in the south east of Spain, far from rivers or lakes but always lover of the outdoors. Professional careers in Academia (currently working at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, previously in the University of Barcelona) and Industry (over 15 years in the Defense and Intelligence community in the Washington, DC area). Discovered canoeing and the BWCA/Quetico areas late in life but for the last few years, and currently, I do 3-4 solo trips every season plus a few more with family and friends. |

Safety electronics for the BWCA (or other trips to the wilderness)
BWCA - main floor Sun 2:30pm-3:15pm
All kind of electronic gadgets for communications and safety in the wilderness are available. Understanding your risks while having what you need to minimize them is key. Knowing how to use them, costs associated, understanding your own needs and those of family and friends who love you is key to providing peace of mind for everyone.
Do you know what SOS on the top of your mobile phone top screen means when your cellphone company name or 5G/LTE is not on the screen? Do you know what you can or cannot do with your newest iPhone that has satellite capabilities? Do you understand the implications of pressing SOS on your satellite communicator? How much capacity does your battery pack need? Will a solar charger be useful? If so, what type? What kind of lantern/lights do you need? What kind of two-way radios might be useful? Do you know what a HAM radio license can provide you for very little money?
This presentation will cover all of these topics but also provide plenty of interaction with the audience to answer questions, concerns, etc. to ensure that they make the right choices to help them (and their loved ones) be comfortable with whatever risks they are willing to assume.
