I also carry a Spot PLB. However, after the signal goes out, there's alot time spent waiting. In some of the more remote regions I have ridden, it can be half a day waiting for anything to happen(like a spotter plane). In the meantime a down rider may be medically unmoveable(God forbid). That's when most people wish they carried some of my seemingly unneccessary crap. Unless you know a victim's medical history, Giving any pain meds may cause an allergic reaction, possibly death.
