I couldn't have said it better. I'd rather be found later by the next hiker down the trail than end up in a convalescent center waiting for my turn.

Better yet. . . I've noticed a trend that when people who are in very good physical condition (read athletes) have a heart attack, it's usually catastrophic and they are DRT. Folks who are out of shape have a slower heart attack and they have time to take aspirin and call an EMT. Anybody else notice this or am I seeing a trend that's not real? I'd rather go with the first group; ie., doing something active that I enjoy one moment and BOOM -- game over, DRT.
