No Need To Amputate Your Arm

group shot of of Person Locator Beacons (PLBs) Your survival should not require you to amputate your own arm, as Aron Ralston was recently forced to do in order to escape being trapped by an 800-pound boulder. Nor should you have to make any other extraordinary sacrifice. While too late for Aron, come July 1, 2003, you will be able to purchase a pocket-sized emergency beacon that will alert authorities that you need to be rescued and also give them your location.

This newly legalized and affordable advanced technology is called a 406 MHz Personal Survival Beacon or "PLB." A PLB "takes the 'Search' out of Search and Rescue," substantially improving the odds that survivors will be found and rescued in a timely manner.

Doug Ritter is the nation's leading consumer expert on the subject of PLBs and is available to speak to your group about this extraordinary new lifesaving technology. Ritter is the editor of Equipped To Survive, the Chairman of the nonprofit Equipped To Survive Foundation, and is widely recognized as one of the world's foremost experts on survival equipment.

Ritter covers the benefits these PLBs offer, as well as their limitations, the various special features available and their pros and cons, how the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite alerting system works with these beacons, how to use a PLB to best advantage and he reviews the features of all the available PLBs. Doug also provides demonstration beacons for participants to gain hands-on experience with this latest lifesaving technology.

Ritter also offers his new "21^st Century Survival Signaling" presentation that still covers the most critical points about PLBs, but also includes information on some of the other exciting new innovative survival signaling technology that is just being introduced into the market.

Ritter's low key, fast paced style, delivered with sincerity and humor, captures the audience's attention and packs a lot of valuable information into the available time. Each presentation is tailored to the your group's operating environment: aviation, marine or wilderness. Don't miss this opportunity to provide your group the latest authoritative information on this new technology that could save their life. Book Ritter now, before his calendar is filled.
