hi not been in any situations of need but i would say when going solo any extra safety precautions are a good thing . I do a lot of solo off roading and 3 main things i always have are .  1, coms so i can let people know where i am.  2,  basic first aid kit . 3,   a power winch just encase but i have used the winch and first aid more time's on others than my self thank god . so yes never enough safety better having it than not .

Maybe this product & service exists. If not, how bout this:

 

A dedicated "rugged" comms device with a dedicated tactile button. Ware it on your chest where it's accessable by both hands. It's perma-linked to a call center, partially automated service. You check in with them when you start the day's work. They have all your details and a copy of your risk assessment. The device rings loudly and vibrates (really powerfully, moreso than a phone) every half hour. You hit the button to silence it. If you don't hit the button connects to a human at the call center and they speak to you. If you don't reply, the emergency plan is activated. It can also tell the call center if you are upright or horizontal. It tells the call center if you are moving or not. If you link it to your fitbit it tells them about your heart rate etc.

 

This device would be an indestructible chunk of polymer and metal with a high capacity replaceable battery. Could even have a Satallite link for areas with low cell coverage.
