The vast majority of Summits on the Air excursions require at least some hiking. Frequently that hiking is in areas away from populated areas where you can get assistance should something go wrong. The outdoor “10 Essentials” may give you a fighting chance, IF you carry them.
For this Summits on the Air activation in Western Wyoming I show you what I carry in my pack for the “10 Essentials”. My wife, Sandy W7NRS, joins me on this 2-mile hike to a beautiful area where we have fun making contacts with our ham radio.
