A great new safety tool for the outdoorsman is the Spot. It is a electronic device which can send your position to anyone you want via satellite. Besides tracking you it has the ability to send a "help" or a "I'm O.K." message to whomever you have programmed it to. It also has a button to send a "911" emergency request and your position will be forwarded to the appropriate responders. There is no voice, just three buttons. Simple and sure. It offers a high degree of security to anyone who is out in the country.
