[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1226635, member: 54178"] Thanks gents, Thanks for your supportive comments. This forum is a great place for good info. You sometimes just have to winnow out the "chaff" to find it. I agree, a satellite rescue beacon gives everyone peace of mind. And I feel that all of us on this site are smart enough to know what a true life-threatening emergency is when we press the S.O.S. button that will likely bring a rescue chopper. Some hikers think that button is for things like resupplying them with water because they were too stupid to plan ahead. Grand Canyon park rangers have had several of these false alerts and it's frustrates them. There is another rescue beacon called the De Lorme "In Reach" beacon that many like. I've heard that Garmin bought De Lorme, for what it's worth. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
