I'd recommend running a checklist prior to traveling. Get a tablet or a notepad with a list of things you need to bring and go through it and double check. Excellent video. 73, sir. - KF0QNM
Please STOP doing FT8 use SSB, FM, AM, or CW the CPU does all the work Be A Real HAM USE VOICE Please We will lose Our Bands if We keep only using one little spot.
Thank you for your comment and opinion. I do SSB, FT8, FT4, and FM, and AM. But as the activator, I choose what modes I use in every different scenario. I use digital more when I'm out with the family, or busy working in the shack etc. I know it's not for everyone 🙃.
Friends invited us up to their cottage, about 2 hr drive. Cottage way up on a hill. Aesome. Brought everything, no antenna. Had the pole... no wire.
You bring up some good points here and have me thinking that I need to double check my radio go-bag.

I've learned to make and use checklists for whenever I leave the house for about everything except going to church.
Good on you for pointing out a mistake we can learn from. Thanks!
thanks for sharing this fantastic video my friend 73 from kb2uew
I made a POTA checklist. Before I leave the house I check off all the items. Works great

Hello
There's always a first time
A few days ago I also forgot about my backup antennas but I still had time to put them in the car
