Know someone going on a hike or to a location that doesn't have a well formed popular path? Convince them to get a PLB* and register it. doing a multi day hike you likely need one. If there is only one in the group, do not leave/split the group.
They are (in Australia) a $400 once off cost. Don't let your friends and family become another statistic.
*Devices like Garmin InReach aren't PLBs. They can serve similar purposes but I'd suggest having a PLB still.
