Hello All,

New to the forum and planning my first bikepacking trip.  I was considering purchasing a SPOT 2 GPS for peace of mind, but not sure if I can justify the price.  Has anyone rented one before?  I found a place online that will rent them for 3 days-1 month.

Here is the link:

So glad I came across this!  I'm trying to plan for my first bikepacking trip (just a 1 nighter to see how it goes).  I have a stumpjumper fsr 29er.  Awesome to see someone who's made a framebag for their stumpy.  Mind if I ask the length of your trips?  And how much weight you had on your back?
