[QUOTE="user 7268, post: 378229, member: 7268"] Have to agree and also main reason purchased a Sat phone over Epirb. Many have a sos button that can send out pre set messages to several nominated people (Up to six which can include SAR) which includes co ordinates plus the many other uses of actually being a phone. Plans available thru Pivotel for only $15 a month no other cost unless phoning out. Oz sim card so any calls to the sat phone are standard mobile rate so the boss can call you and chat for a few hours each night if so be it ;) Carried in a penguin case its both waterproof and near on indestructible. Helped me out already when spiked two quad tyres on a tree stump in the middle of whoop creek. No matter the situation important to stay calm as when panic arrives many times logic leaves and magnifies what is already a not so good situation. There is no coming back from death unfortunately.
