RIBs are the future. This isn’t the era of Don Miller or Romeo where they
didn’t have radios on the entity. This has been done a few times and now we
have the tech to do so including remote, starlink and solid state amps.
This doesn’t mean traditional tent and generator expeditions aren’t going
to happen anymore. But a RIB can mean the difference between an activation
and no activation.
This activation is within the rules - 500 meter circle, all on the same
entity and land based. As a bonus it minimizes human contact for sensitive
ecological areas.
