RE: anyone been lost in the woods?
last year my neighbor and I where hunting at a location that I wasn't very familiar with. Knowing that, before darkness hit, I made my way back to the truck. My buddy decided that he was going to sit until the last minute. Well about 25 minutes after dark, he calls me on the radio saying "I have a problem, my batteries just ran out in my flashlight!" So I tried to pass to him as many landmarks that I could while out that day, but with it being dark, nothing was able to be made out. I told him to head like he was going uphill slightly for about 200 yards. Once he reached that spot, I fired my rifle into the air. He was located about 500 yards up into the woods away. I turned the truck around and put the lights into the woods to give him the guide light home. When he got there I could tell from the look on his face that he was a little scared.
I was thinking about purchasing the Garmin GPS two-way radioes, that can transmit locations to each other. Anyone have them and if so what do you think about them?
