PLB and Location trackers

[JoBen]

I walk the Angus Glens and you don't get a mobile signal until you're up a munro. My husband is so worried I'll fall with no backup (I walk alone) but all the plbs and trackers seem very expensive, and then the cost of subscription. Help needed re best option

This has been discussed at great length quite recently, if you don't want a subscription service then the McMurdo Fast Find PLB is your best bet. Basic SOS button should you get into bother.

If you want two way communication with each other then you'll need a subscription service satellite communicator/PLB such as the Garmin inReach Mini or one of the SPOT devices.

I carry an Ocean Signal Rescueme PLB; at a bit over two hundred pounds they are expensive, but the price of not having one is much worse. A few years ago we lost one of our own, Ali Fox who often posted on this forum. She died in a blizzard because she could not give a map reference for her location. If she had a PLB she would likely have survived. PLBs last for many years, so the price is low over that time.
