Abstract: A self-contained portable unit can be positioned in a visible location in a sportsman's car. The unit includes a timer which can be preset to the length of time for which the sportsman expects to be away from his vehicle. Once the length of time has expired, the timer initiates operation of a flashing warning light and an audible horn alarm. It also provides current to an illumination light which shines on a prepositioned card containing the sportman's expected route and destination. In this manner, if the sportsman is injured or lost, a search party can be sent to locate him immediately upon the actuated warning device being found by a passerby.
