[pct-l] Emergency Notifications

[Paul Robison]

The pcta is not here for that...

... They will not contact anyone on trail... They have no way to do so;  and had no officers on the trail itself.

They are a permit agency.

If you want to have some way to be contacted, you need a cell phone;  end of story.

... Or just call back home at town stops and wait till the. For the info to be relayed

I don't plan to carry a phone but will mail it to my resupply in bounce box, but will carry a SPOT so folks can track my progress.  Is there a better approach for a serious illness, etc. to get info to a hiker?
