Yeh fair comment,

There so many thinks in life that carry the same issue I guess.

For example on the places I work does not carry much in the way of first aid
in the office, trying to get approved is a big issue, their answer to a
defib machine was "gee that's expensive" $2500 for a life, when you have
over 100 people over the age of 30.....

I guess we do what we can to preserve our own life and that of the people we
spend time with the most, family, friends, co workers, fellow hikers.

Hi Mark

I look at this way ... how much does my life or someone else's life weigh?

In PBW we prefer all walks to be a minimum of four people. This is because
if someone gets injured, one person can stay with them, two can walk out.
This however assumes that those other members are capable of walking out on
their own.

Regards
Andrew

Cool, fixomull I forgot, carry a that also,

I don't use an EPIRB only because of the weight, I guess if you were doing
lots of solo hiking it would be a must
