I live in the city, but have friends out in the mountains of BC and when we go hiking, we carry this 1 time use SOS beacon. It's registered with the government and if we hit it, they will send out a helicopter. He's used it before on another hiker who broke their leg.

You should always carry a gun as well.

Yeah I have that as well, as do the neighbors (several miles away lol).

I was mostly trying to paint the picture most people don’t think about. When you’re off a common trail, no one’s there to help you
