Since BJ.com is down, I'll post this over here as well. I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but there is a promotion going on right now for the SPOT satellite emergency beacon. Depending on the service level that you sign up for, there are varying levels of the discount (all of the way up to a free unit). The deal looks really good for anyone that was already considering one.
Sorry for the short notice, but you would need to purchase the device prior to Aug 3rd. Here is the link that contains the promotion details. http://www.findmespot.com/freespot
Also take a look at the bundled GEOS Search & Rescue coverage as well if you are operating in the backcountry a lot. Here is a short testimonial of relevance. (link)
hope it helps people stay safe.
