if you get lost while hiking...

I was just watching Inside Edition episode about a man who got lost while hiking and almost died. He was on the trail for 6 days without food or water. He was found barely alive. Anyway, they have posted a link to a free site called trailnote.com You can leave information about where you are going and when you will be back. If you don't report back in, they will notifiy your contacts and get help on it's way to you. It is totally free so if you don't have emergency location device like I have, this is a pretty good option to look at.

Here is the link:

hmmmm....the link worked at first and now it doesn't seem to. If not, just manually enter the address.

Cool concept, especially for those of us that hike alone sometimes. Thanks for posting.

You need to put the http in I think Jack, otherwise it parses as an npn/www. link.

Cool deal. But we should all have this sort of thing "on file" with a contact personally, anyway. Guess it's a good backup.

Thanks Kurt...looks like that worked!

Wow, what a great idea!!! Thanks for the link. I will probably use this in the future.
