Re: M_Boats: Safety at remote launch ramps

I second the Inreach suggestion (for personal safety emergencies). I got a Spot tracker when I started paragliding. I eventually swapped to an Inreach for better coverage. Their basic plan is very affordable for the safety it can provide in remote areas. That said if you have any of these devices, test them regularly! My original Inreach Explorer had the satellite modem fail, so it was worthless. You want to know it works before you go. I now have the Mini version. As for the vandalism risk, it will always be there. Don't leave anything in sight in the car, park in the best area you can. -Gerry
