[QUOTE="David-Karratha, post: 655139, member: 22207"] Everyone‘s basic kit should include a PLB (personal locator beacon). These days, they’re smaller than a pack of cards, the batteries last something like 10 years, and when activacted will show your position within a few metres. I also carry a handheld gps (Garmin 66i), which while more expensive, can be carried in a pocket. Has full navigation capabilities, allows family to track my position and progress, and allows text messaging (via satellite) when youre out of phone range. It also has full epirb/plb capabilities, so there’s no need to carry a separate device. [/QUOTE]
