Yes, emergency rescue beacons. I have one whenever I am in the middle of nowhere.

I had to use it once, believe it or not, when I almost died in the mother of all ironies - in the middle of Death Valley, California.

The U.S. Air Force directed an ambulance in my direction from a nearby town.

Have a COSPAS-SARSAT emergency beacon is all I am saying. They are expensive, but it's a one-time purchase. The service is free.
