If the phone is broken or stolen, the next best bet is a HAM or Satellite
radio in the backpack. Now if even the backpack is stolen or crushed....
then I'm out of ideas for micky's situation.

In order for him to communicate, he's gonna need either a radio, or, if
they're looking for him, a mirror or bright flashlight. 

Lots of people have spelled HELP in the sand on an island also... but
that's far out of the realm of the comp.mobile.android newsgroup I think.

I have a similar issues as micky does, in that I hike alone and I'm well
into my age of breaking bones being easy - so that's why I have SOS
mechanisms on my phone (which require cellular signal of course).

I also keep a small ham radio in a plastic bag in the backpack.

Actually, he doesn't need a "data" connection, per se, since SMS doesn't
need cellular data - where all he has to do is send a text but if he's out
of cellular connection - that text will wait until his phone floats
downstream in a plastic bag until it finally reaches civilization.
