Good for those left home!

By Ranked #113 - Navigation August 7, 2008

Went paddling in Canada's Quetico park this year.

Problem is that those left home don't know if you are OK or not, until you get back in and to a phone.

If you get weather delays, etc., but aren't hurt, they get to worrying.

I bought this unit and told my wife that if she didn't get a call from Search and Rescue that we were OK, just delayed. It eased her mind. We fortunately didn't have to use it, but having it with us put everyone at ease.

Get one before you go outward bound.
