One of the things I noticed with those that have and interest with either camping/bushcraft, survivalist training or just getting off the beaten track for a spell, is the lack of notification that they give to others as to their destination and itinerary. Far too often this lack of notification can compound any unexpected and potential snafu caused by weather or personal mishap that could lengthen the time of a more timely rescue/recovery. This could also pertain to those that have to make a living on the road, or by those that make frequent road trips. I just wanted to make known to others within
iKC about a web service that will take a proactive measure to ensure that those that care about you will be notified if you have failed to return from you destination at your appointed time. That service is called
SendAnSOS, and is located on the web @
http://sendansos.com/ .
Just so you know, this is a subscription-based service, but the fees are reality low for the type of service that they will provide... i.e.
Single User @ $9.95/Year,
Family (5 accounts) @19.95/Year. They also do Company/Corporate accounts (100 per.)
N.B. I have no affiliation or association, with the company, nor am I compensated in any manner by them.
