The caveat of using hi-tech is the reliance people grow to have on them. Then when the batts die, they have no self-rescue skills to their avail. Things like celestial navigation, being able to triangulate your position with a map & compass, etc. Not a biggie at Pelican, but can be a lifesaver in more remote climes. The most important survival tool is one's noggin.
