i'm with the wilderness survival group myself,more than
the BOB and "hunker in the house" crowd--so--when i
head out on a canoe trip i not only leave an itinerary
with my family but also a photo of my canoe,tent and
Baker shelter..i'm not as worryed about getting lost
as i am about a medical problem that would force me to
stay put and become overdue..knowing what my camp might
look like would aid in the search as aircraft and boats
would be used---like in " say Joe..way over there--is that
the red canoe,green tent and blue tarp that guy had??"
Joe looks at photocopy--"nope--it was green canoe,red tent,
we don't have to paddle way down there--it's not him"...
Exactly why I'm listing details about my gear and car.
my plan is stay put--make a fire--make a shelter--make noise--
Good plans all, and all of them except maybe making noise take time to put in place. The reason I separated out electronic signalling from more conventional types is because I can give a quick shout out, and then get about the business of immediate survival, and then think about signalling.
