Emergency Locator and Tracking Device
Do you ever go off and fish by yourself, travel in areas where there's no cell phone coverage, or wonder what you would do in an emergency where you need to get help fast?
I like to fish alone, and am often in areas where if something happened, I'd be hard pressed to get some assistance. I know it bothers the wife when I go traipsing off alone, and even though she has a general idea of where I?m going, it could be hours before she starts to worry and notifies some one.
I?ve looked at satellite phones as an option, but the price for the phone and the service has always seemed a bit steep. Well know there's an alternative and it's called Spot. Check it out at http://www.findmespot.com/field.
This just went on my birthday wish list.
Incidentally, I have no personal connection with the manufacturer or any distributor.
