Not very keen on knowing exactly where I am with a broken leg, and no cell reception though.... Spent the first 20 years of my hunting life with just a compass, but luckily, with a few more years and kg under the belt, comes a bit more ability to fund things that offset the risks. inReach - a good multi-purpose option by the sound of it, but if you really really need a rescue - then at that moment you would want to be pulling out a purpose built specialised bit of kit (PLB) is the logic I'm hearing from the forum gurus.
