I carry an ACR2881 in my car anytime I leave the house, in my pack on any hike, in a canister on any dive, etc. - but if I were buying today, I'd get the PLB1 - Ocean Signal - smaller, lighter, etc. but call for rescue from anywhere. $259 with 7 year battery & warranty, fits in a shirt pocket, 3 inches x 2 inches x 1.3 inches, weighs 4 ounces, waterproof. What's not to like?
Why doesn't everyone carry one? Anyone can run off the road, wake up disabled and in need, but unseen from even the busiest roads - and in a cell phone dead spot?! From the Mississippi to the California Sierras, it's very easy to vanish in many places - but people vanish in the eastern states too. Why are we always searching for bodies...??
