However, if you are stupid enough to leave home with a non-charged phone and/or spend all day scrolling on it rather than hunting, you are the problem, not the phone.

I'm not sure how anyone can see this is anything other than a good thing?

oh its a good thing but I m suggesting it shouldnt be the first line of defence.... to me a PLB is always going to be more reliable and they are in a nearly bombproof cover so far less likely to be disabled
