Wall Street hasn't been getting much right, lately, so their attempt to take credit for recognizing the blatently obvious is understandable.
Now, I am not an investment analysist on Wall Street, on Main Street or even in the back streets. I'm just a part-time explorer of remote backcountry places reached by double-track, single track, topo lines and UTM grids. In fact, rarely is there any cellular phone service in the places I like to go... and the more rare, the better.
I first learned about the SPOT Satellite Messenger last year, shortly after they launched service. It was immediately and blatently obvious to me, too, that SPOT had something that was going to transform the playing field for me and other outdoor adventure enthusiasts.
Here's the bottom line for my dollar: SPOT uses advanced satellite technology and offers features that allow me to pursue my epic adventure dreams on my terms. It gives me a ubiquitous life line and the ability to check in with loved ones without the burden of bulk in my pack and without the looming black cloud of concern of whether technology would work for me when I needed it most.
But if you need to hear how good SPOT is from someone qualified to recommmend sound strategies (?) for your money, go see why WSJ thinks SPOT is worthy. Well, atleast they seem to have gotten it right this time:
