CANOEDOGS,
I built a home for a urologist here in my neighborhood. I will probably see him sometime tomorrow. I will bring the general idea up, but I bet he tells me to carry a SAT phone and call for help.
I am sure that is what his lawyer and insurance company would want him to say. More later.
Saw the doc and I was right, first thing he said was SAT phone. He then spoke of copious amounts of water and prescription pain killers if one had to self-rescue.
His last bit of wisdom was: "Don't worry, this too shall pass".
Sorry I can't be of more help.
