A spot is going to replace any of those, if you don't know where you are it isn't going to help you. I use mine for work as I have to check in on 2hr intervals and often is is my only source of communication. If there ever is a major issue / injury it could very well be the difference between survival or not. Bushcraft only goes so far when your legs are broken.
