how about this?..saved up a few bucks over the winter in a PLB fund with the idea of running over to my local camping gear store and bringing one home.no one in Minneapolis seems to have any in stock.i called a couple of the main gear shops and got more confused mumbling than answers.i'll end up with a mail order from REI so i can get a pay back but what a hassle.
i did a post at my canoe tripping site and was told,one-check the store at a sea plane airport and two--and here it is--in the Midwest there does not seem to be any demand for PLB's.
out West more, but in the safe,nothing happens fly-over land not enough people feel they can get lost or in danger outdoors to need to carry a PLB's.
at 68 and with a brand need knee i want some back up on my solo canoe trips up north.
