Paid $329CAD down from $449CAD. It’s a must for any hiker in the backcountry with an SOS button if an accident happens. Using satellite, you are always in touch with emergency responders. You can also use it to communicate with other hikers and also send messages to people back home. Right now, we don’t think we need two of them and one for each of us. Maybe we can find one to borrow… or buy and sell right after if we can find one for a good deal.
