Pieps and RECCO have specifically said that is not their intent.

What is wrong with you dude? Shove that idea of the "slackcountry" right back in the pit where you found it.
If you want a location device for the backcountry that is going to have a super low save rate because it relies on the longer response time of organized rescue, well the options are out there already.
