Satellite Emergency Notification Devices

[Kauri]

I'm in the "how many people still go out without one of these devices" group. I've always carried multiple paper maps (and often two copies of the same TOPO printout, since I have had maps blow out of my hands on a windy day!), and I almost always tell someone where I'm going and when I expect to be back. I've never used a GPS device of any sort. But I have been thinking I probably should get some sort of Spot/inReach device though...
