So I do a lot of driving out of the way. I put around 30,000 miles a year on my Jeep and I'm retired so most of those are either on road or off road drives. I decided to buy a SPOT device just in case I get in trouble with no phone service. It allows me to text anyone, anytime. When I text it sends the Latitude and Longitude of where I am. I almost had to use it when I was in the South Lake Tahoe area in February but I ended up being able to winch out with three resets of the anchor because I was so far down. Thank goodness there was plenty of trees. My first thought was "Who would I text?" The SPOT device has a SOS button on it that you can push but I think I would have to be in a lot of trouble to use it (life threatening).
So this whole paragraph is to ask "Who should I text?" I know there is the "Utah Off Road Recovery Team" but the only way I can see to talk to them is through Facebook. I could text my wife and walk her through where to find there Facebook page (I have it bookmarked) and have her message them but I'm wondering if they, or someone else that does rescues have a number I could text. I think posting on here with "EMERGENCY" in the subject line would round some people up but again I'd have to walk my wife through it over texts and she's never been on a forum before.
Any ideas?
