Tristen,
Good luck, I hope you get it back. I mounted mine on top of my pack and left it there. My wife attached a small piece of fabric for it to clip onto. I knew that I'm rough with tossing the pack around so I used military grade duck tap to close up the open clip end. Lastily I fashioned a short lanyard to tie it on in case everything else failed. It's still on top of my pack, I can't get the knot untied.

Maybe someone will turn your SPOT on and you can track it....................................DUG
