    Excellent video man, thanks for sharing. I agree that a mobile phone in this case is an emergency piece of equipment and should only be used in an emergency situation. ANYONE going out there without suitable kit, clothing, maps, compass and suitable skills and knowledge needs their heads read.

    I HAD ICE WHEN I HAD A PHONE, ive been phone free for 3 years now i have a small radio for emergencys
    There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes,
    By the deep sea, and music in its roar, I love not man the less, but Nature more.

    I have to say yes they are good in an emergency. You don't need a signal to phone for an emergency service. Still wouldn't trust it as my only means. However the camera has came in handy on occasion.
