And they have been through their share of spills; including the one where I sufferred the concussion. (If you remember the helmet thread from a few weeks ago.) If they break, I'm out 50 bucks for the radio and $100 for the GPS.
Hiking, hunting, skiing- you are going out into the wilderness. To me it just makes sense to be a little prepared; especially when it cost me next to nothing.

Hmmm. Interesting. I wasnt aware that a de-activated analog phone could call 911. Of course I imagine you still need a cell tower nearby?
Yes its always good to be prepared for sure. I missed the helmet thread, will have to look for it.
