Completely forgot to respond to all of these – this was super helpful though!! Thanks for the advice and info, I really appreciate everyone’s time responding. I ended up settling on the GME and certainly feel more equipped to try some more adventurous and remote hikes.
Interesting about most rescues happening on day hikes too… not surprising when thinking on it, but a good reminder to stay vigilant with safety even for those shorter adventures. Happy hiking all!

I've built this site as a free community service as I'm passionate about the outdoors and getting people out into nature, safely and with confidence. This is a hobby and not a business so I don't have the the financial backing that companies do, so any financial support you can offer is really appreciated.
