Agreed, Ed.

The SPOT for me went over my price point, but for those who can afford it and are willing to take the risk that some messages will not get out, I don't begrudge them their choice.

I think the ideal would be a group where one person has a SPOT, one person has a PLB, one person has a Ham radio, and one person has a satellite phone. :)

I think the ideal situation for me would be when one person has the PLB, one person has the Spot, one person has the SAT phone, one person has the Ham Radio, and one person has the pitcher of martinis.

I volunteer to be that person.

After one of your martinis, would I need to be rescued?
