Doctor Evil, I am surprised the thread didn't jump down your throat for that message. You seemed to suggest that one might be better-off carrying - what 2lbs of deadweight - so that one could cry HELP if it rained, than carrying some reasonable clothes. Where are all the Libertarians, shouting self-sufficiency? Maurice is right: cell-phones have saved lives. They have also led to people being called out because others were inadequately prepared. There has been at least one case where a cell phone was used, but the "victim" had no clear as to where he was, and the rescuers couldn't triangulate his position. Sure, take along emergency signalling equipment, but not as a first line of defence. An aviation handheld Comm Radio would have reached half-dozen airliners going in and out Seatac from the Olympic Peninsular. They are smaller, lighter, cheaper, and probably more durable. (They might be technically illegal to use. Good! Don't use them until you don't care about a fine.)
