That's a great idea and wish I could do this with my family especially my 13 year old!!!

Now if only I could afford a cabin to go to haaaa?!?!

I'm sure on those weekends it's refreshing for you and your loved ones! Good for you!

Went weeks when I lived in south Fl during the early 2000's, Hurricane Francis, Wilma, Rita, and Katrina. Lost power about 4-6 weeks each time. Not a fun.

Went backpacking twice in Sequioa National Park last month. No cell service, and didn't miss it.

Wow you won't see any cell towers there pretending to be a tree!!! We have those everywhere here in NJ and they look so bad!

On a company cruise a few years ago. We took over the entire ship (about 450 people), and the owner paid to have the internet open full time to everyone, no time limits like there usually are. This means that everyone was on 24/7, so nobody could really get anything in or out.

The cabin isn’t anything fancy. It’s in Utah and was very fairly priced. Built in the 90’s. We were going to AirBnB it so it could pay itself off but found that we liked using it more often than just for ski season

No WiFi on the ship at all? Are you in deck sat systems?

Sounds wonderful, Nick!

My wife's family has a cabin up Provo Canyon just past Sundance. We love visiting there.

We’re in Brianhead! We love Utah! Largely unmolested natural beauty. For now anyway

I did a 7 day back country horseback ride in Yellowstone in September of 2017. No internet, no cell service, no roads. From the most remote part of the ride, it's a 3 day horseback ride to the closest location you can get a cell signal.

My brother-in-law has a cabin in Brianhead. They moved to the Pacific Northwest, so they don't get down there very often, but it's a beautiful place.

Just got back from another voyage without internet, left august 29th, returned September 8 (talk about bad timing!!). So I missed the “big reveal”
However my girlfriend kept me up to date with some satellite phone texts on what had been released/discontinued!!
When she said the subs had a new bracelet, I was worried it would be a jubilee...but she quickly cleared that up.
The main thing I kept thinking about was the new 126610lv and which shade of green was chosen.
Spent a while browsing rolex.com and YouTube last night.
So now it’s time to catch up on what all my fellow trf members think of the new lineup.. also, are there new nicknames for the disconitued subs

!?
So much to learn since September 1!

No WiFi at all, it’s actually great to get off the grid. Plus more work gets accomplished!
