Ive been traveling in the backcountry in various forms for over 2 decades sometimes hundreds of miles from my vehicle or trailhead, but almost never solo, i got some "good storys" . I think people should be more responsible, there seems to be less and less accountability these days and devices like this along with "free" rescue help exacerbate this problem. Ill never buy into one of these things and it will be nice when your cell phone cam replace this. It will also be nice when ios stops purposefully making stuff that wont intergrate.

It was something I needed for the folks back home too. I wouldn’t have got this for weekend stuff. This is for the long haul.
