    Just goes to show how being prepared a little bit can save your life a whole lot. I have been thinking of getting a spot device to sync with my phone, thinking is over, time to buy one. Best couple bucks spent, hope you never need to use it. Glad these guys were found safe.
    I use camouflage flagging tape when in the bush, that way no one see's my trails or follows me into my spots.

    Re: Hunters rescued near Toad River

    i still am shocked when i hear about hunters getting lost.
    with the technology available these days, there is no reason at all to be getting lost.
    i take my gps and spot even when i'm not going that far.

    glad to see everything worked well for these two.
    they were well-prepared and equipped.

    Did you read the story, it says he broke his foot, and couldn't make it back to base camp

    Yeah but Mr. Duallie is perfect remember and he doesn't make any mistakes. So even if he had broken his foot, he wouldn't have got lost.

    I am so glad that everything worked out for them. I bought a SPOT for my husband when he is out sledding, i am now going to buy one for me for when I go out.

    I don't know if you know it or not but the SPOT can be used by anyone. You can use your husbands when you are out and set up a set of messages for yourself. Of course, if you're both out you will need two.
    Rejuvenation: Sitting in the slash in sub-zero temperatures waiting for first light and hearing antlers clashing together. Oh man, life is good!

    Yeah I know I can use his, but sometimes it is just easier to have your own. I would really have to get lessons on how to use it though, but I would like to do it soon as now my 6 year old son has become my new hunting partner I just always relied on my dad to get me out of the bush.

    read twice before commenting maybe.
    i never said that they were lost.
    being lost was about the importance of having a spot when out in the bush.
    i said that they were well-prepared.

    and no, even if i broke my foot, i wouldn't be lost.
    because i carry a gps and spot all the time.
    like them, i'd be able to call for help.

    maybe concentrate on fighting with anti-hunting groups and not other hunters.

    yeah so?
    what are you saying?

    i was making a statement in general about carrying a spot.
    it wasn't refering to these guys being lost.

    the first paragraph was about the benefits of carrying a spot.
    the second paragraph was about these hunters being well-prepared.

    guess you misread it.
