Signalling for rescue

A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

When my wife and I went hiking/fishing in Alaska I carried a mirror, flashlight, compass, fire making kit, whistle, muliti band (Ham) walkie talkie, 44 mag and a Tru Flare flare launcher with flares and bear bangers.

I use the SPOT messenger and have for about 10 yrs.... It works great !.

Cost about $12 a month and has the option to have diff profiles ( so you can share it with other people ).
Tracs every 10 mins on a usable map you can share with others or d/l.

Still using a Gen2 and it lasts about a week + on batts ( with tracking on )

Never had to call for help, but in the US, it has always tracked fine and sent the SMS messgs.
You can't fix stupid !
