[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 2963947, member: 2189"] When we make the run from Dawson to Tuktoyatuk, we plan on a Sat phone and may go with Sat internet hook up. We are also going to get the license to run Ham radios but might even go for the general license to run even more powerful radios. Once you enter The Dempster, the sign clearly sez there are no emergency services beyond this point so you are entering hundreds of miles of some of the most remote travel you can take on the planet. In winter, Hurricane Ally above Eagle Plains can be very deadly for those unwilling to play the wait game with the weather. 50 below and 100 plus mph winds in the open tundra is itself a killer. Our current nav setup we are building for use south of The Dempster uses a Delorme In Reach for Sat/GPS up and downlink synched to a tablet for both mapping and with the In Reach, texting functions. Probably incorporate a HEMA system as well along with Google Earth. Using Ram Mount hardware to mount devices which can even synchs to the truck's ECM that we get on the fly input on the truck's operating systems from oil temp/ pressures to battery/alternator output/condition to trans temps and everything else in between. Once you leave Dawson City headed for the Northwest Territories, there is little room for error. [/QUOTE]
