Re: Survival Kits
One of the best things to have if you are operating in a remote area is a Sat-phone. I once flew a very long medivac (200 NM) in the middle of the Indian Ocean, where the use of an Iridium Sat-phone saved a very badly injured boatman.
Whlie working charters in the Australian outback, it became standard to carry a handheld Sat-phone with us.
