Default Good question, my answer

It was certainly a good idea to call your wife first as she knew exactly where you were. Any reason why you didn't call 911 after getting off the phone with her? They could have picked up your coordinates and known where you were in the event you had passed out. The alternative would have been a search based on a map and a general area of where you were headed.

I'm not trying to turn this into a debate just asking the question. Again, I'm glad you were able to recognize the symptoms and passed this valuable information on to the rest of the group.
I and Mrs ToW only have a "track" phone. We use it only when on the road traveling and it does not have GPS but could be tracked vie towers. Not very good with towers. The reason I carry it hunting is my hunting partner had and issue last year where I had to walk out to the truck to get his cell to get help. So from that point on we both carry our cells with us.

No my partner did not have a heart attack. He broke his ankle. And yes I needed my First Responder trainning for him as it was a compound break with bones sticking out and all the goore. He is OK and made a full recovery.
