Since I know you guys are losing sleep over me going into the backcounty alone on my dual sport I purchased a personal locator beacon, the ACR ResQlink. https://www.acrartex.com/products/catal ... qlink-plb/
It's similar to SPOT but also different. The ResQlink has a more powerful beacon that uses the international SARSAT search and rescue system, run by NOAA in the US. http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/ Other differences are that it only gets turned on for emergency - no friends following your location via the internet - and in addition to sending GPS coordinates to the satellites it broadcasts a homing signal for rescue to follow. It also doesn't require a paid subscription - you register the device online with NOAA and that's it.
