	Another thing I like about printing out paper weather reports is they make good fire-starters when you're done with them

Another thing I though of, as these type of units become more prevalent, I wonder if the park office might start asking for our device number and if we would like to be contacted for pertinent updates that might arise. For example if there were a wildfire evacuation such as 2021, it might be another way of getting the word out, or even if a fire ban were to be initiated or lifted, it would be good info to have in the field.

	I agree that Weatherunderground does a nice job on forecast. Unfortunately Zoleo assign the forecaster- and its generally pretty good but the pairing of Quetico location and forecast location is suspect. I use the printout and a tiny weather radio- generally an Ely forecast. For the most part I use the Zoleo like the SpotII, a device to send a location.
