I was watching an episode of "Ghost Whisperer" last night on the DVR and they showed a Ritter PSP. The story involved a couple of brothers who had been hiking, and one died. When looking through his personal effects for a clue to the location of the MIA brother, the contents included a PSP. There was no mention of what it was, but I just thought it was cool to see one on a prime time show. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

That's pretty cool.

I wonder if they had a consultant on the show's crew that was familiar with wilderness survival, survival situations, ETS or if someone just did their homework.

Doug, you should see if you can get a clip of that or perhaps a screen capture for the PSP section of ETS. First "Penthouse" and now "Ghost Whisperer". <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

As you may have read from the list of acronyms, PSP stands for Pocket Survival Pak. It is a commercially available kit produced by Adventure Medical Kits (AMK) that Doug Ritter designed. There is more information about it on the ETS main page. I'd put the link up, but I'm in a bit of a rush at the moment <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
