I guess thats not feasible or even desireable with adventure riding - part of the going bush thing.
Remember you have feet though, and if you are smart you will also have a means to survive a night in the open - mandatory IMO. If someone has no warmies, no food and drink, a wrecked bike, AND a wrecked ankle, then they are a dick. Equivalent to going fishing with no radio, flares, lifejackets, and telling no one where they are going.
In answer to Radars question. If went deep-country adventure riding yes I would spend $50 on a beacon. $500, uh, no, unless I was heading unsupported into really deep country in cold weather, and even then I don't think I would go on such a trip alone.
