I only do day hikes, but almost never have cell phone service on them!

This is my hang up. I'd love to have one but just don't have that money. I carry 1k calories in nuts and trail mix, a life straw, some water, a knife, 2 emergency blankets, a whistle, and a first aid kit. But none of that would be enough if I actually got lost.

Plus the ongoing fees. It certainly makes me nervous not to have one!
