It’s good to carry a Voodoo Tom or a PLB/device or a first-aid kit...
Better still is to not crash. Fiddlesticks one might say. Skill, focus, fitness, and judicious decision making don’t come cheap, but they’re easy to carry.
It’s easy for me to recognize risk mitigation because I consciously eschew it sometimes. There have been consequences. So do as I say, not as I do...don’t make me start showin scars.

That’s at about 5000ft, but it was just as deep at 4000. And it was untouched, we were the only knuckleheads willing to posthole through it. Next time I’ll wear snowshoesWow, that's a crazy amount of snow. What elevation was that at?
You must have won something for that right? Tailwind? Free IMTB membership?Ha, so I often see a familiar photo on the Picture slot machine. Sometimes there are even two. For the first time I just saw 3!

ohhhhhhh, the memories.
That rubber chicken looks to serve as a blow up doll as well. Just sayin’
Mathematically, it makes sense, Ev.Ha, so I often see a familiar photo on the Picture slot machine. Sometimes there are even two. For the first time I just saw 3!

You'd be remiss to throw this out there without some sort of source or data. A motorcyclist on the Divide we spoke with used his and got help in reasonable time (same day, help at the location within hours). Someone else I know was trying to test their unit but activated it instead – they got a call from official SAR in under 15 minutes. Rescue situations seem far too varied to be able to take your claim at face value. TIA for the info.A PLB will take quite a while to get you rescued...
Day off.
