Help, I have fallen and I cannot get up.

Kadizzle and The Commander hike in some pretty out of the way places where phone service is non existent.  Should we have a disaster, which we have managed to avoid up to this point and after thirty or forty years of hiking, we now have a new super duper satellite communicator.  Kadizzle has been studying how the Delorme Explorer works.  In a dire emergency you can flip a switch and just push a button. The device will send a signal to a satellite rescue system.  Hopefully help will be dispatched. The device automatically sends your GPS location.  In addition to the basic service  you can also text people, or have the device constantly update people as to where you are. Hopefully we will never have to use it in an emergency, but since Kadizzle is now taking some long lonely motorcycle rides it might do the trick when  you break down or run out of fuel.  Also it will be a nice deal on the boat.  Often we have no phone signal on the boat.  It would be nice after sinking to have someone come get you.
