Answer 2

I used to carry a 5 watt CB walkytalky when I went hiking. It gave me a good chance of contacting a truck driver who could relay a message.

  It is also a good idea to carry a few emergency items in the car. In the winter I carry an old quilt, a small tarp, a brick hammer (can break ice on the road, and a copy of   the army survival guide.
