Roger that! I have a Yaesu FT-857 in my truck so I have HF through 440
and antennas for all bands. I'd be screaming my lungs out on 40M or 20M
or whatever band I could raise somebody on!

I agree...here in the Northern U.S. where we (usually) get plenty of
snow and ice, we were taught to stay with the vehicle (and it's always a
good idea to have an emergency supply of food and water in the car,
especially in the winter months). In the case of an air search and
rescue, it's far easier to spot a car on the ground (which is usually
very near to a road) rather than spot a person in the woods...
