Hi Bob,

For Personal Locator Beacons, I personally like InReach. Works well as a communication tool with friends and family. Also has a SOS function. But like any tool, people need to educate themselves on them to ensure proper use. We have had accidental SOS calls, and also family members reporting people overdue because they missed a check-in from not properly sending a message on the device.

These devices can be purchased at most outdoor stores like MEC and Atmosphere.

Hope that helps.
