Also give details of walking buddies SPOT's and fire a text or call away from high points. I also think the SPOT device is very handy, especially as plans can and do change at short notice.

Unfortunately internet connections can fail - so she might not be able to read the email at the critical moment.
I have a question ........ does anyone know if there is a logbook at the trailhead to sign in and out? Don't they have an ETA column in them? And if so, was it checked?

Maybe an Australian equivalent could be provided on bushwalk.com in a prominent position. Is there any officially endorsed form available in Australia?

A lot more likely in NZ, as the majority of those in the bush are hunters.

But if you're a hunter, is your firearm really emergency equipment per se? You would be carrying it (and ammo) regardless of what else you're carrying.
