Off-road driving has become a popular activity especially among thrill-seekers. However, there have been cases where people have gotten lost simply because they went off the beaten track and ventured into the unknown. Those cases prompted adventurers to use all means possible to increase their chances of surviving the dangers of the wilderness.

The most notable safety measure that has been installed in vehicles of all sorts is the global positioning system or the GPS. This allows control centers to track the position of vehicles wherever they are. It also has numerous other applications such as preventing car theft. However, it is dependent on a power supply. If that supply is cut off, it cannot run. This means that trackers are stuck with the last position that the system transmitted to them. If the vehicle was reported lost, rescuers have to go there and search the area for any sort of visual reference. This is why adventurers have attention flags on their vehicles.

These vehicles often enter terrain that makes it difficult to spot them from any direction. This means that it has to carry objects that would make it easier to spot from any direction. After all, if the party who used it would have to be rescued, they would have to be spotted first. If they left the vehicle, the search party would have to know where to start looking for them. The attention flags that they carry help increase their chances of getting rescued since those flags are actually meant to be spotted despite obstacles.
