Ditto what MTV said,Spot & Plb w/survival vest too.By the way,have ya'll read about the injured hiker who spent 8 days out in wilderness.And of course the boat sinking off of Florida that claimed the 3 after they capsized their boat.(one survived) Seems to me Spot & the Plb folks should be making a bundle of $$$.Well come to think of it most pilots don't carry these life saving devices either.(sigh) I once showed my Plb to a Baron pilot who frequently goes into Mexico.His response to me was,"why do I need that,I have 2 engines". $500 Plb is cheap insurance.Oh yeah....I forgot...."IT WON'T HAPPEN TO ME".Stay safe all and keep learning.You never know when you'll make headlines.....Herman.
