Yes have one and take it everywhere, as well as for work. Have needed to call the rescue chopper on four occasions in my lifetime - none for myself but others. Fortunately two we had coverage for cell phone so could get out, the other I used a sat phone to get out and the fourth we hit the button straight away. I now encourage all of our contractors who frequently work outside of the coverage area to have at least one PLB on site with them. No brainer really. I also have a sat phone in my truck at all times, and take it if heading into the hills for an extended period. Great things.
