this man is incredible!
what a phenomenal will to live.

gov135, a cell phone?
i can't say that i know how good american outback phone coverage is, but in Oz, you'd have a snowballs chance in hell of getting reception out there unless you were at the top of a mountain.

i think what you meant was a GPS radio beacon or another safety device like that. problems with those mainly centres around price over here, plus a lot of people just don't bother with the extra weight.

that being said. going out alone, and not leaving estimated return times and such, is stupid.

but still, i tip my hat to this guy.
incredible will to survive.
inner resilience like this is something i find in most experienced climbers and mountaineers.
