That's what I do, too, Scott. I have the added benefit that the person(s) I notify are usually BOTH geocachers and Posse members. So, then we can call ourselves if we need help! ha ha!
Following up on a previous comment about being mistaken for a hunter while packin', I doubt anybody would believe I was out hunting big game with my compact .380 semi-auto, even with the Hydra-Shok's....

your best defenses is to LET SOMEONE KNOW where you will be and when you
will be back. When we go to a remote area, we leave our vehicle
description and route with a responsible person. They are instructed that
if they do not hear from us by a certain time/date to call for
help.

Geocaching makes this even easier. If I go out by myself, I make
sure that someone knows which cache I am going to. Assuming that I
am not REALLY lost, searchers can find the coordinates that should get
them in my neighborhood.
In liberty,
