why?
Not to be a "nay-sayer" but why do you need an epirb/sat-phone/SPOT?
I mean, if you should get into real trouble, the only thing that will save you is your wits.
Spending money on electronic devices will not ensure anything but more expenses and more things to loose.
A GPS is a nice-to-have and a map is a need-to-have but talking to locals on the way is what will get you anywhere in the world, with a minimum of hassel.
From my experiences, for whatever they count, I would say: Less is more.
You can get internet access anywhere in the world today, so keeping a blog updated is not that hard. You will be surprised!
GL with your travels!
