Good to here you are well and back on your feet Jack!
Don't even worry about paying for a phone. If someone you know gets a new one, you can just take their old inactivated phone into the field with you. Cellular 911 works on even inactive phones. My wife feels 100 times safer now that I carry an old phone just for the 911 capabilities, even though she can't contact me while I'm out there(which is the way I like it...shhhh!). If it is a smartphone you can even store maps of the area on it and view them offline.

Great point. I forgot all about this. In today's day unused cell phones are easy to come by.

Yup, truly no excuse in this day and age. I have a Galaxy smartphone I got from a coworker when they "downgraded" to new IPhones. I have it set up to use the internet with wifi and make wifi VOIP calls and texts, all for free. I don't use it a lot, but if I ever need directions and am near a free wifi connection(i.e. any MacDonald's and most motels), I can hook up and download directions and store them for offline use.
