Personal security for the outdoors

Posted by Dan Middleton, BMC Technical Officer on 13/02/2007

Worried about campsite security at night? Concerned about attracting attention should things go pear shaped when out on the hill?

Personal security devices are usually thought of as something for the urban jogger exercising in a dodgy area. Some devices from Doberman Securitymay be of interest to walkers and climbers though. The Infrared Perimeter Protector has an alarm operated by remote control, for protecting your campsite. The Safety Signal Alert uses an alarm and flashing light to attract help should you need it.
