That was the plan - have the "local" repeaters programmed and marked on my maps (to give me an idea of which I might be able to hit). There are a surprising (to me) number of repeaters on 6m/2m/1.25/70cm and I think 23cm (going from memory of looking last week).
Like I said, I don't have to go far for cell service to cut out, so I always bring paper maps. Although I have thought about buying an Android tablet with GPS...But that's another story. (Printing off a topo before heading out is pretty easy, so...)
I forgot about the 817. I saw that when I first started looking, thought it would be overkill, and then forgot about it. That's another to consider. Thanks for reminding me
