Yuppie 911

As someone who ventures into the backcountry, this kind of thing worries me because of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” problem that can arise. What if services don’t respond to real emergencies because they see false alarms from these devices so regularly? I don’t have one of these, but I can see how I could someday. I hope that things like this don’t become so misused that they’re useless to people in real need.
