http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/07/30/kayak.rescue/index.html<br><br>Kudos to the Coast Guard for a spectacular rescue. Considering how unprepared this guy was he is very lucky to be alive. At least he had his cell phone.<br><br>On a related note, my office recently got me a new phone. It is the new Samsung model (SPH-A460) that Sprint is using. It is very small (which is nice), but what was most interesting to me is that they included a GPS transmitter in the phone. Although not in place yet, they are anticipating GPS using cellphones allowing 911 services to locate mobile users. Knowing the members of this list, I am sure that will be a future "must have" for EDC. I just thought it was interesting that the phones are already available.<br><br>Greg
