This is my first trip with my sort of new living situation of life with Apple Watch and Apple Music.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Apple Watch requires daily charging and luckily, we\u2019re car camping so I can run the car\u2019s battery for an hour every night and charge the watch and my iPhone \/ iPad via a multi USB charger. I\u2019ll still have my articles via iPad (Reeder &amp; Instapaper) and I\u2019ll have the fitness tracking of Apple Watch. I\u2019ll be carrying my iPod Classic just in case but I have stored 30 playlists on iPhone for offline listening via Apple Music which just came out on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The cell service up there is nonexistent so let\u2019s see how these 4 days go and if my devices will just constantly go bonkers given the lack of service. The iPod Classic and my Mophie juice pack will serve as backups so at least music and Instapaper \/ Kindle reading will still be possible no matter what (except they won\u2019t save me from a bear attack).<\/p>\n<p>A final note, last week while in Florida, my weathertight camera got wet and now I\u2019m camera-less unless you count the iPhone 6 or GoPro Hero 4 as being capable still cameras. Either way, I\u2019m stuck with Heather\u2019s Canon S110 which is a highly capable camera but, after using it last night, I sorely miss the heft and capability of my Olympus OMD EM1. If the Rice-Bath my EM1 is undergoing for the next week does not save it, I\u2019ll have to replace it. I was not looking forward to that. It does have me looking at today\u2019s camera landscape and the huge amount of options available. Cameras have come a long way in the last 18 months.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be an interesting weekend. Sure, I\u2019ll be embracing the outdoors but also pushing the limits on the ability to unplug from the Internet. Not my personal limits. I\u2019m fine not being online but I assume my devices will not appreciate it and will be starving to reach out the outside world while they live happily in airplane mode until Monday Morning.<\/p>\n<p>Happy 4th of July and enjoy the warm weather and I hope all of my readers here stay safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tomorrow evening (Thursday), I\u2019ll be heading up into the mountains of Northern Vermont with some friends to camp&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-03-17T02:26:13Z","apple_news_api_id":"fa960c89-16de-4ec9-a09a-eb65c50be610","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-03-17T02:26:13Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A-pYMiRbeTsmgmutlxQvmEA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-technology","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1f1","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5051,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/09\/18\/technology-ive-cancelled-my-apple-music-subscription-living-in-the-future-is-rough\/","url_meta":{"origin":4775,"position":0},"title":"Technology: I&#8217;ve cancelled my Apple Music Subscription + Living in the future is rough","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"September 18, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"Apple\u2019s 3 Month Music subscription will end soon and I\u2019ve decided to cancel.
