Nice tent folding technique! I keep my electronics in my sleeping bag with me. For your inreach, try 20 minute send interval and also check the activity recording setting - if you don’t use the activity function, set this to standard detail. Also, in the settings, use GPS only vice multi-gnss. Turn down/off the backlight setting. Antenna should be facing up and not obscured. @11:05 omg, you wasted a whole boil on that one, lol. 😂
