Fastfind Plus 406mhz Personal Locator

I saw this on Cool Tools and realized how important it is to carry something like this for our readers. It's a GPS system with a built in personal locator and emergency band broadcasting. Manufactured by McMurdo, this is a must have for any real adventurer out there. At one point in your life, you will undoubtedly find yourself in a less-than-ideal situation, possibly involving a debilitating medical emergency. This device is the best insurance policy I can recommend to you to equip yourself with to ensure continued adventuring. The Description from McMurdo:

When activated, the Fastfind Plus with integral GPS provides a 406 MHz alert signal via the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system. There is a visual indicator of GPS acquisition. Fastfind Plus also transmits on the International Aircraft Emergency Frequency of 121.5 MHz providing a homing signal for the Search And Rescue (SAR) services. A built-in self test facility includes testing of the 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz signal (where permitted) and GPS power up.

If you're looking into a McMurdo or similar system, I'd recommend checking out the Wikipedia article on Emergency Position Indicating Rescue Beacons, it covers the technology described above in explicit detail.
