Thanks for being strict Steven, you can skip the calls to the FSS, but
would you fly actual instruments out there without at least a flight
plan and performing position reports ?

Uncontrolled airspace might mean areas of spotty radio coverage, so
passing along a position report with a flight plan in the minimum you
should do if you have to crash land so SAR will come look after you.
