Who Uses ZOLEO

Jon and Erin Kelly

Jon and Erin Kelly

Campers and Canoeists

Jon and Erin are diehard backcountry campers living in a remote northern town on the shores of Lake Superior. Surrounded by a rugged and wild environment, they spend much of their time in a canoe on Ontario’s lakes and rivers from spring through fall, or in a hot tent during the frigid Northern winter. Jon frequently goes on extended solo fishing trips and ZOLEO allows him to keep in touch with Erin back home, providing both with much-needed reassurance. They share their adventures on their YouTube channel, Lost Lakes.

Bridget is one of the only well-known women in the western hunting space, and she shares her solo bowhunting, fly fishing and shed hunting adventures on Instagram and YouTube. She lives in a small town in southern Utah and is surrounded by three separate mountain ranges — one of which is considered ‘the most desolate range in the continental United States.’ The roads are scarce and rugged, and cell service is nonexistent. As she constantly travels in and out of cell range, Bridget relies on her ZOLEO to keep connected with friends and family and to have a means of communication in case an emergency ever occurs.
