TerraFix 406 GPS I/O PLB purchase

By Allen Childs Ranked #212 - Navigation November 17, 2006

I bit the bullet and purchased this personal locator beacon and carried it for a 6-day hike in remote areas of TN and NC. I am 65 and in long-distance hiking condition and hiked with a less conditioned and experienced person. Many more trips are planned to remote areas. The beacon was easy to initially set up, register, and test. Very easy to use and show your hiking mate the simple steps to take to activate. Also packs well and was light. It is very well made, waterproof, etc. Felt good to have it along this trip in case of emergency, since having to go for help could have been very difficult due to area we were in. Hope I never need it but feels great to have the security. Waited to last minute to order and you
got it to me quickly.
