Maybe a tangent but last week I watched the movie Frozenabout three friends stuck on a ski lift after the mountain closes for several days. It was a decent movie in the vein of Open Water and Jaws. They explain the lack having a cell phone in the movie, though on AT&T, I never consider my phone a via option outside of town; I couldn't help but think, PLB, PLB, PLB. A dang SPOT2 could have solved the whole thing and a decent strobe light might have helped considerably.

As I have stated earlier regarding the injuried woman, I never really needed my SPOT before I got it but I and my family are certainly glad I have it now.
