Kind of off-topic...
Overwatch Rescue...I dumped my SPOT plan, but decided to keep the rescue insurance...they have an app that uses the iPhone's satellite capability for rescue communication...5G seems to be ubiquitous over here in Asia...been doing video calls with my wife from some pretty remote places...crash 31 on the Kawi was a doozy...bike ended up on top of me...they say Adrenaline gives you temporary super powers...I didn't find that to be the case...I ended up having to wait until the HR dropped to figure out how to get un-stuck...thank goodness, no injuries...And yes, the phone was in reach...

Glad to see this rescue had a good outcome...

Lots of lessons from his blog: https://blog.happyhikersgroup.org/mt-langley-beyond-the-summit-92f12c0f9564

(His "hike leader" should donate a substantial sum to Inyo SAR.)

That was supposed to be the point of my post above...
We mostly know that the SAR Groups usually don't charge...
With the coverage I have, I could tell SAR to send the bill and they'd end up (hopefully, if the coverage is legitimate) having some money added back to their budget...
I added a tab yesterday...just a brief browse so far...I'll get to it eventually...
