If you’re whitewater kayaking, it’s not uncommon to have a knife accessible from your PFD.

It can be used to cut any ropes you might be tangled in or (worse case) cut the PFD.

In general, having a knife with you is useful in most emergency situations (and a throw rope, pin kit, plus knowledge of how to use them).

… and I want my headphone jack, back.

Thanks for sharing the OSMand recommendation and configuration.

I’ve got a hike coming up, so I just installed it - wow, it’s fantastic. It captures the elevation change and distance. I thought I’d need to limp along with Google maps, but OSMand is sooo much better (and open source).

edit: a word

(… as I look at my subscribed communities…) What Trump memes?

… "For English, say ‘God bless Trump’ …”

Fixed that for you /s (… I really want off this apocalyptic ride)
