I always carry with me, a whistle, a small knife and a small LED light. Even shopping or driving I always have them. I also keep a laser pointer (w/10 mile visibility) in my vehicle. Just in case.
I just got back from Alaska and the leader of our group of 13 had radios that had a very long range. None of us were out of range at any time.
