So, you contradict yourself,
you had fear of water (for the cells ;-) ),
now you say they are dry.

The solution is well known, called a PLB, EPIRB, the latest seems to be this:
  http://oceansignal.com/products/plb1/

But I do not think you will be kayaking on the ocean or big water?

  lots of info there too.

Easy to make a release system with some dyneema line.

Can view it from further away seems a good one to me.

Actually I did, has been 50 years ago or so though.

Well just build it, I really do not see the problem, few hours design work.
If you have the remote, add an eject button:-)
(it would need a separate battery, but wait, why not eject automatically (spring latch)
when an IR optocoupler detects smoke or a sensor over-heating in the thing?
Now THERE is a design challenge.
You can add a phone home, fire crackers, sound alarm, and a speaker giving voice instructions to the crew(you) how to duck for cover.
You also need coffee maker, pizza oven, fridge, probably need a bigger battery than just 3 Ah.

How's that for paying attention?
Can you keep up?
:-)

Here a few days ago the sun was red from the bush fires in the south of Europe, wind from that direction, you could smell it too.
When the 100 % eclipse was here around 2000 IIRC even the flowers closed.. very strange.
