Always let someone know when/where youre going. Time of return doesnt hurt either.
I wish things like Spot weren't so expensive. I'd gladly pay a couple hundred bucks for the unit and a couple of bucks a month. $15 or more per month is just too much when I didn't really use it much. If I was hunting in the Adirondacks, deep in the woods, I'd think about it.
I rented one when I went to CO for an elk hunting trip, and it worked very well. The location wasn't always perfect, but I was hiking in some canyons with tree cover. Overall, I think it was worth the ~$90 it cost me to rent it. I know it gave my wife some piece of mind.

If it is anything up there like it was in the Oneonta area the last few days, this guy better have some strong survival skills. I was hunting my uncle's 76 acres and there were times when I was cursing the weather even knowing I could be out of it in 20 min easy.

There's a snowmobile trail app that covers all of NY state, has all the snowmobile trails, as well as regular roads on the maps, and best of all it doesn't need any cell service to work. I'd imagine something like that might come in real handy if you're hunting deep in the woods of NY. It was only $20 in the past but I think it's free this year.
When I traveled to Colorado, I used onXmaps. You can download high resolution maps to your phone, create waypoints, add photos, etc. It shows national forest boundaries as well as private land boundaries. It's an awesome app. It's too bad it's $30/yr per state.

That sounds like a nice app. You can also cache a pretty large area off of Google Maps onto your phone for free. Probably a large enough area that you'd not walk out of the area you cached.
