I applaude your efforts, packs though can be a bit personal, he may smile and grin at the surprise purchase but grit his teeth underneath. My advice would be, if you really want to surprise him with a pack go cheaper or second hand. Most of us have been through several ... as your hunting / tramping evolves you come up with different / other needs.
Mostly they dont wear out but get replaced, with one that has "improvements".
A rhino isnt a PLB so you need both, if thats the road you follow, there are other options too that allow texting but usually include a monthly subscription / fee.
Great to see a couple enjoying the sport together.
Have you been able to get any idea on what sort of pack he likes initially?
