[QUOTE="daalkodetector, post: 46197, member: 1784"] Hi All, without being technologically savvy, we have had this discussion and I agree wholeheartedly with Wal, if you are going to be seriously remote, then it would seem to be common sense to spend the money on an EPIRB as a form of insurance. I also think that the GPS unit has a swag of benefits for more common use even on shorter trips, not so much for when (if) you get "directionally challenged" (never lost), but for marking a spot for future reference, marking the spot of a good find, or somewhere to avoid, not to mention that as Wal said, many times having the GPS will assist you to find your way out without help. So each have there uses, but to be made to get an EPIRB would be a bit rich if you just prospect out your own local area type of thing. [/QUOTE]
