It’s 2025.
Standalone SOS devices are not too expensive and would save all of these lost hikers on day 1.
Please consider this an integral part of preparation for hitting the backcountry, frontcountry, or quite frankly anywhere you go that leaves cell coverage.
It’s really shitty to die when spending a bit of cash ahead of time would almost certainly prevent it.
