 That's still proprietary and you can be locked out of your account pretty easily. I have a similar device for when I hike solo. But it's not something I'd rely on for primary coms.

 Very cool, but, It’s a shitcoin

 It's better than breaking a leg and dying if hypothermia in the winter.

 What do you rely on for primary comms, if I may ask?

 Anything FOSS and encrypted, really. Signal, simplex, matrix, nostr, etc. 

All of them have issues, but, a variety at hand is useful and provides some redundancy.

 You're welcome. And thank you. ☺️

There is no perfect communication platform. Every one of those I listed has some advantages over the others. There are tons more (XMPP and session cons to mind at the moment) that also have their uses. I don't go all in on one thing or another, favoring a diverse approach that remains flexible.
