> generally more rugged/survivable.
Yeah, the sat phone is not rugged. I hadn't thought of that because at my age I'm car camping, so survivability of the device is assured. :-) And I'm with access to battery power to charge the sat phone up if need be. So sat phones are not the be-all and end-all solution to every situation.
