Here's my new New Year's toy :
For backcountry skiing, hiking, SCUBA diving, and boating. If you get into serious trouble, this satellite transmitter with built-in GPS can alert Search-and-Rescue to your position anywhere in the world within three minutes.
These things retail for close to $1000, but after watching eBay for six months I was able to pick it up for $325.
Smokin' deal!
Hopefully I'll never have to use it...
