This guy is an idiot. You don't head out without enough water to reach the next source of water! Personally, I won't solo away from crowds without a beacon and this year since I've been deliberately aiming for empty trails I upgraded that to an inReach with a plan that includes breadcrumbs. If I did get hurt and couldn't push the button search and rescue would likely have my exact location (so long as it was still functional and had an adequate view of the sky the last breadcrumb would be within a few yards of my location) and almost certainly have a very good approximation of it.
