Developed with hiking in mind, Search And Rescue Kit is to be used to signal your location when an accident occurs while in a remote area.


The scenario:

Youre out in the mountains for a hike, and all of a sudden you twist your ankle. Your movement is impaired. Its time to shout for help. A whistle or a professional tracking device would help, but in the absence of this we can, as of now, use our iPhone.


How it works:

SAR Kit will enable a set of action based on the availability of the following resources: battery, calls, gps and internet.
Different combinations will enable different actions. For example:
- battery alone enables Siren and Blinking flash. Good for close range.
- gps + calls enables emergency contacts calls and sms. These sms are pre-filled with the current coordinates.
- gps + internet enables you to broadcast your location via a server. These broadcasts can be seen by other app users, in the green section.



Disclaimer: Please take all the safety measures needed, and when possible, avoid hiking alone. SAR Kit is not meant to replace older signalling methods, but rather to complement them. No guarantee is provided. Use it at your own risk.

Developer note: SAR Kit is a personal project. Its free. It was created after some tragic events earlier this year that could have been avoided if the app existed. Stay safe. Enjoy the hike.
