know go out and switch it on all of a sudden be talking you know worldwide and so um for my my family i have family still in la and so i'm out in middle tennessee now and so communicating with them is the most important thing for me in a situation and so there are several things you can do the first thing i did is i got on starlink so um you know if if things go down starlink is going to i believe stay up much longer and be able to communicate through

through Starlink when, you know.

through Starlink when, you know.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Whatever you, there are all kinds of ways to do it. All the go. We out here, we're on a generator system and then I have smaller generators if my big goes down, but we have Starlink as our primary. And then one of the other things we communicate with is we have a, a, satellite, Iridium satellite network. And Garmin bought recently a company called Delorme.

And Delorme had these location-based units that they put them in my backpack in Manhattan after the first episode when I got lost in Africa, or they lost me in Africa. I knew where I was at. They didn't. but you can text using the Iridium satellite network.

And you can, there's an SOS button that you can anywhere in the world, the rescues, you know, anywhere in the world on the network, they will, you know, send out a rescue for you. So that's my, my secondary. And then tertiary, we have some other radio programs,

mesh communications is another really good way, depending on one of the things that people always ask me, what is the best way for this, this, this, there is no one best day. The best way is whatever the situation dictates, you know, the situation will always be different and each person is always different.

And so you need to stack your preparedness plans based on you and the place you live and the circumstances that you're in. And so everyone's going to be different. I'm just telling you what I have set up. So I have, um, you know, I have Starlink and then I have, um, you know, the Iridium satellite network. And then I, I of course know how to use HF and, and, and ham radio stuff.

So I have a setup for that and the ham radio network. The other cool thing about the ham radio network is these people live for natural disasters. That's what they do is they, they communicate. And that is, that is the greatest thing that could happen to a ham radio operators in his world is, is as the world ending, because then they're going to be communicating with everyone.

passing everyone's messages they love this they really do and so if you can connect with ham radio operators they will help you out if you understand the basics and can connect with them they will help they will break their hands you need a big tower for that There are big towers. Those are repeaters. And so what you need to do is you need to be able to connect to one of those.
