A friend on the outside could then use the geolocation data from the analocator and drone deliver supplies at night. The contestants turn the camera off at night and the secret delivery wouldn’t have to be anything overt that would be easily noticeable post-delivery.
Contestants are allowed to bring ten items to the location with them. Part of the show is deciding which items to bring and which items to go without - skipping a fire starter or a water bottle, for example. But this way they could drone deliver a few of those small items they skipped out on.
I’m talking about this show, for anyone unfamiliar: Alone - Wikipedia
I don’t see why not. It’s obviously cheating, but there are trackers that would easily fit.
Many of the trackers that would easily fit (like AirTags) don’t actually have their own GPS receivers, they piggy-back on the receivers in iPhones that are in bluetooth range (and also use those iPhones for the cell communication back to Apple).
Very good point.
I looked again to see what self-contained satellite devices look like. Some of them will still fit, but not quite as easily.
