No doubt that can be a good idea for some folks to carry one of those locater beacons. Not arguing that one bit.
I have no issues with wanting to die in bed. Just as long as its not in a nursing home and people having to change my diapers.
Until then, I reckon I'll just keep on doing what I've always done and be fine with checking out alone, up in the mountains, if it happens to work out that way.
Heck, who knows. They might find me propped up against a tree with a note around my neck that states "I, ETipp, in sound mind but snake bit body, leave my prize possession..... my beloved Crockett rifle, to whoever finds me. Its a good shooter and kilt the snake that kilt me". Then again, that would mean I'd have to pack a pen and paper (extra weight) so I doubt that would happen.
