[QUOTE="axeman, post: 46198, member: 252"] A spot tracker, epirb or gps would be good but what ever happened to the good old paper map and compass and the knowledge on how to use them?. Of course If your injured a paper map ain't going to help. In remote areas a sat phone would be good idea. Remember about 12 months ago a power line worker in north Queensland got separated from his workmate and by the time they found him (which wasn't long) he was dead from a tiapan bite, maybe a epirb or spot tracker may have saved him?. I thought about a timer controlled epirb or spot tracker type device fitted to your vehicle which would go off if you didn't get back on time. :) Mick [/QUOTE]
