Q. What Accessories Would You Recommend For My Garmin Rino 530 HCX Hunting GPS and Why?


Use a Titanium Hammer for Framing

These days there are so many types of hammers that can be used that you often have one hammer for each type of work you want to do with it. There are special hammers for drywall, for framing, for demolition, or for metal work. Each carpentry project has a hammer that is just right for it. One use of hammers is for framing. When doing this the hammer used must be just right. A framing hammer is usually one that has a long handle and is heavy because that adds to the power that it has to make sure the nails go in far. Sometimes the weight of these hammers was a problem for those who were doing framing work. But that was solved by the advent of the titanium hammer.

This Distress Signal Flare Gun Will Last Days Instead Of Seconds, With No Fire

A simple automotive flare, for example, could be replaced by beautiful LED flares if not for the cost. These modern flares are UL approved and can withstand being run over by a truck. At almost $40.00 each however, the average person will stay with having a handful of fire flares in their trunk.

As far as the outdoors, laser light technology has come along way. It too is quite expensive. Although, with emergencies where this type of device would be utilized, peoples lives may be at risk. These laser signaling devices can be used both by boaters and campers as a distress signal. The cost will vary depending on if you prefer spending about $100.00 for nighttime rescue or $250.00 for daytime. Reviews have been mostly positive, accept for two concerns. First, they are not signaling devices. They merely project a beam of light in the sky. The second and perhaps most relevant issue is that like a GPS unit if you get separated from the party that has it, the laser does you no good. So if dad has control of the device, and his teenage son wanders off and gets lost, searchers can locate dad but what about his son?  

I have come up with a very simple and cost-effective answer to all these concerns. The LifeTracker is a device that in case of an emergency will, with the pull of a cord, jettisons a heavy  gauge red balloon attached to a 1000 ft fishing line up high enough for searchers or a rescue plane to see. The LifeTracker makes it possible for people to be found before panic ever sets in. It not only will save lives, but millions of dollars in search and rescue man hours. The LifeTracker is a series of 3 different products designed to locate anyone lost or in distress, in hours rather than days. The LifeTracker Belt, The LifeTracker Vest, and The LifeTracker flare Gun, can be offered inexpensively enough to allow an entire family to outfit themselves with The LifeTracker for what it might cost to purchase one GPS unit. It even has a 12" solar light rope for night rescues. In this day and age of electronics, it"s refreshing to find something that is completely mechanical. There are no batteries or bad reception to worry about.

Anyone venturing into the wilderness; campers, hikers, backpackers, and rock climbers, will want either the "Belt" or  "Vest" as part of  their everyday gear.

The LifeTracker Belt ... 4" wide with pockets on the outside to store a thermal blanket and other survival supplies.

The LifeTracker Vest... Using the same concept as the "Belt" the vests inner side unzips to release a folded lean-to tent complete with telescopic 3 ft poles. Some people will prefer a vest and are willing to pay extra for the complete survival package. This offers a great option, and like the "Belt", is very marketable.

The LifeTracker Flare Gun...Flare guns are very expensive and, of course, the flare only has a short life. With a small adjustment to the LifeTracker Device, it can easily be kept in a lightweight pistol, that can be stored in any backpack, vehicle, boat or plane.  It might even have military use.

We only have to look at current news events to see where The LifeTracker Flare Gun could have been used, resulting perhaps in a life saving outcome.  

A family was driving home through the backwoods near the Oregon border and became lost. After 2 days, the father left his family to go for help. The family was found two days later by searchers and the body of the father was discovered the next day. It was uncovered that they had turned down a logging road that should have been fenced off, and ran out of gas. If they had the LifeTracker Flare Gun, for example, as soon as they ran out of gas they could have shot off the balloon and been found by rescuers before the father left his family. Everyone would have been saved in a timely manner with a lot less man hours.

In October of 08 the body of the famous adventurer Steven Fossett was found at Mammoth Lake, Ca. His small plane had gone down, and he was missing for over a year. If he were alive when he crashed and had a LifeTracker Flare Gun, he might have been saved. The LifeTracker flare gun could eventually be mandated for all small planes.
