and
Satellite communication equipment (Garmin Inreach/SPOT etc.) https://www.garmin.com/de-DE/p/765374/pn/010-02602-02?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqoGg98bviQMVdpFoCR20gjnPEAAYASAAEgICDfD_BwE
You can find yourself quite exactly without any further action
The Inreach works only if you have much free heaven above you;)
But yes the parts are 7vsWild 😀
Initially, a so-called FKN appearance or a corresponding weapon certificate is required for the emergency signal at the top. This is not freely available in Germany without this proof.
You should look where and when you need an emergency signal. In a nature reserve where little to no people live nearby, such a signal is less and could trigger forest fires.
You can use trimmer whips or signal whips, these can help attract attention without having to apply a lot of force. It is not the best solution, but could help without putting yourself or others in danger through signal weapons. Further possibilities would be the use of a signal horn.
GPS end devices with SOS function: A very elegant option would be the use of GPS handsets that have an SMS function or even better an SOS function. This can help you quickly find your coordinates.
NICO SIGNAL is a weapon and license-free emergency signal and can also be used as a start signal generator (18+).
That’s why the NICO SIGNAL has been used so much as you don’t need any weapons or pyrograph. For transport, it must be transported in a closed container.
If you’re out of an uninhabited nature reserve, you’ll only get whistles or signal whistles if you’re actively looking for ground, but then they’re good.
If you don’t like shot signals… then just smoke pots;)
If then satellite receivers like the Inreach because smartphones do not work reliably in the botany 😉
Apple WoIst AirTag
Angeknabbert fruit gets bad 😂
But seriously, how is that supposed to go with the AirTag?
easy to report as lost
😒
Don’t be in the Outback 👨 🦲
If you’re in the outback, you’re not in a park in downtown
To what do I have cell phone and airtac
Make Your Handy Bluetooth And Gps On Problem
You know how an airtag works, right?
Share location with 112
If I’ve gone “lost” I’m going to call it off?
It was already meant equivalent signal generators that shoot the signals
Calling and whistling makes sense only when you are looking for ground. Here it is more sensible to whistle with a pipe. It’s difficult for rotor noise.
Hdys often do not work reliably in the mountains.
Satellite receivers need a lot of heaven. But better than Hdys
To the subject of smoke signs, smoked pots could be useful if one does the joris and the fire does not prosper.
That wasn’t the question.
It says:
“Make noteworthy” can be found with all the things I have mentioned above. Thus, the question of sequence is also alternatives to (this or one) signal transmitter.
And just as the points mentioned by me (of course) can all have their limitations and limits, so there are also those for the signal generator. 🤷
How do you think you’re looking at me for it and claiming even though you’re not able to read the question.
The question is about emergency signal and ammunition….
Thus, a pyrotechnic emergency signal is meant that is better than the nico signal but has the same properties.
In this case, a corresponding alternative would be a smoke pot
Freud You know, I’m turning my private time for you to call you other alternatives. 🤷
Please, please.
Honestly: Meckering and discussing because someone still gives good tips? How are you? 🙄
If you don’t think you need it, don’t worry. 😘

Each emergency signal device carried along is useful. However, I only have experiences with signal guns for civilians subject to weapons possession cards.
What comes from my experience with night vision equipment:
An IR or white light flasher can be seen with night vision devices on well 50km, which can be operated for hours.
Do you have a link?

The indicated visibility is in pure vision. With an eyeglasses visible over 50km.
Unfortunately, I cannot give you a link to the flashers used in military pilots, I am already retired.
Don’t forget to explain to the questioner that it is a signal weapon with “PTB in circle” that can only be carried with KWS. He doesn’t believe me.
