In non emergency situations I can see the 2M handhelds being very nice. With a 20 mile range using a 1/4 wave or slim jim antenna they would allow you to keep in touch with base camp without having to spend $1 a minute on Sat phone charges (plus it would require TWO Sat phones, one for you and one for your base camp).
This is in the situation where you are doing something like hiking, gold prospecting, or just riding your dirt bike and want to let your partner know you are ok or when you are headed back.
Probably wise to carry everything if you are going really remote. Cell phone, Ham, Sat phone or SPOT.
