One of my fears is breaking down in a place with population nothing and no cell service.. So what do you do??
Well I could....
Get a gun.. but I'm not the gun carrying type of person (not anti guns but not for me)
Never mind gun laws in NY plus I'm going to Canada (Niagara Falls)
Get a machete... but not really the machete wielding type of person either
Get a GPS beacon that hikers use to alert authorities to your exact location.. :)
This is the option for me but my only concern is do they respond in time before wild coyotes and bears may cross my path... so in addition I'm getting a police baton and a couple flares
