I've started to use Zello and I wondered if it could be a useful asset for hikers? If a Zello site was set up for Hikers and say, you were wandering around in the Lakes and felt the need for some human company, or perhaps you fell and needed some help, or even just wanted to find out if any Walking Forum people were in the local area to have a pint in a local pub, then by just pressing the Zello button someone, or more than one person might answer you? I do not know about this kind of thing but could it be a useful tool?
When I'm hiking and feel like a stop and some entertainment at the same time, I often log into Zello and my favourite is to listen to a really right wing Texas Zello group who just love talking about their guns, their arsenal of guns, their devotion to Donald Trump, who they believe in the Messiah, the New World Order, their views about women and so on. Scary people, but really entertaining! The good thing is its not ordinary radio, managed by a controller in a studio, its just ordinary people having a rant and a rave about everything and everone they don't like. They love Mr Trump though, a wonderful warm and caring human being!
