Useless for backcountry safety, it won't trigger for way too long. Off the top of my head there are two apps that are actually useful: Cairn and I believe AllTrails has just added such capability. You can set a notification that will be delivered at a certain time if you don't check in with it. Cairn's capability on Android I find quite limited, I haven't tried AllTrails.

I just have a template saved in my notebook repository that i can export as needed into an email draft.

It's convenient because it makes me shake my gear down, too.
