I'm currently building my BOB and SHTF packs for my wife, myself and house. However one thing that I noticed is that all this is great if we're together, she's not exactly "into" teh survial stuff, she understands why and supports me, but I would most definetly want to be with her if something were to happen.

SO...here's my question, if soemthing major were to happen and cell phone towers were down how would you contact your loved ones? My father works for the governemtn and post 9-11 they all carry skytel pagers, no worries if a tower or building goes down, it's tied to a satellite. They are teh two=way pagers that you can send messages back adn forth on. I'm seriously thinking about getting one for each of us. It would be invaluable if something were to happen and we were both at work, in completely different cities, we could meet somewhere or dicuss what was going on.

What are some of your plans, ideas or equipment for something like this?

Thanks,
