Remember what happened to James Kim traveling through the wilderness in Oregon--
http://news.cnet.com/James-Kim-found-deceased/2100-1028_3-6141498.html James Kim the Cnet magazine editor who perished recently near Grants Pass Oregon was known as the gadget guru. Too bad for him he was not versed with gadgets such as a portable ham radio or a gps handheld unit. There is an open access radio communications repeater in the Grants Pass area he could have used to call for help-- he learned what can happen by relying on cell phone service.

Similar and unfortunate situations may re-occur in the wilderness because of lack of interest in radio and communications training.
