Description
PLBs (Personal Locator Beacons) are now so small that there is really no excuse not to carry one. The Rescueme is a prime example: weighing in at just 116g and half the size of an energy bar, this little guy will fit right in your hip belt or shoulder strap pocket and you won't even know it's there until you, or one of your companions, or some unlucky person you come across, falls down a ravine. Save a life - maybe even your own - with a PLB. Simply register the device (free) in your home country, and activate it anywhere in the world for immediate scrambling of the local emergency services.
