I have one of these. Great brand run by a nice guy. You can't go wrong.Thanks - Swedish build quality & made so I'm sure the quality is good.
On a sidenote about rescue; there have been at least two cases where lost hikers were rescued with the help of police drones in Finland. In both cases police found the lost persons via the drone and (via phone) told them to follow the drone to the police car.
One case was a person who did not find back to the road and the other a family that did not find the path back to the car in the dark.
Video of the first case:

I've purchased a roll of Orange Parachute fabric. 1 m wide x 10 m long.
If you were going to design/craft your own rescue panel for Hiking/Car ( the two most probable scenarios imo ) what features or design template would you try to include?
Parachute fabric packs down very small.
Size of Panel?
Shape of Panel?
Reflective Tape on Panel? If so in what pattern?
How would you secure/maximise the Panels?
Additional functions/functionality that could be designed in.
