I know it is re-assuring to have a help button but it takes the adventure out of things in a way. Know your first aid, be alert, cautious & smart, hope for the best weather and prepare for the worst.
You're betting a lot on everything going well here. I used to do that and my dad complained I circled an area half the size of Germany. **** happens and you might pay the ultimate price very easily . We're lucky to have another option. Besides, it's easier to find your body.
