    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

    When I'm out hunting I use my spot every morning and night to let my family know I'm still o.k. I bring it sledding and fishing also. Its good to see that the response was handled well, it gives a guy more confidence that help is on the way when needed. Especially when there are alot of things racing thru your head when sh#t hits the fan.

    Unfortunate event but I'm glad to read the rescue worked and they are safe. Having proper gear, being prepared and informing relatives where the hunt is going to be are major considerations. And also I'm happy to see the Spot worked as advertise (I'm assuming they used a Spot from what I see on the map).

    Thanks for sharing that news I'll forward it to my familly so they can trust more the Spot system when I head out hunting. After hunting season my spot is always in my truck in the even I need it or there's an accident on the road and without cell service. That little device can save lives and not just mine.
