I really don't think it makes sense to start a high quality surveillance operation over 1/3rd of the United States because they found less than 10 bodies in wilderness areas this year. From what I can find online, it looks like State managed land would be another 197 million, bringing the total up to almost 30% of the country. Combine all that and it's almost 22% of the country's land area. National Forest service manages 193 million acres of land, BLM manages 247.3 million acres, and National Park System manages 85 million.
Just to go further, if you wanted to try and make the case that it's public lands that are the issue (some of the cases, in particular the Utah couple and the Vermont one, might have been on public land). So, all told, I'm not seeing this as proof that our National Parks are murder's playgrounds. I only see two of the cases that were found in National Parks/Trails (Grand Teton and the Appalachian Trail), and one of the those was ruled a suicide. The Colorado case was a woman last seen at a gas station and then found just off the highway. The Florida case was abducted from her Orlanda apartment and found in a wooded area nearby. The one on Alabama was literally found in a Walmart dumpster. Not all of them (or most of them) were even in wilderness areas. Vermont, North Carolina, Florida, Albama, Colorado, Utah (x2), Wyoming, California. And those are spread out all across the country. So the articles that I saw, it looks like they've found nine bodies.

We now understand that our National Parks are a lawless playground for murderers and serial killers. I suppose my point is that the first piece of educational info is to tell people: nature is a LOT more vast, and risky, than you may realize. It won't work to tell people they can't visit nature - they're going to. See: Hanging Lake, CO or the countless brotards in r/backpacking who bring their unleashed dogs to 'play in the outdoors' (read: terrorize wildlife). Unwise, inexperienced people heading in to nature is a huge problem (or really, set of problems). For every person who commits 'suicide by nature,' there are thousands who are a bit overweight, inexperienced, unfamiliar or ignorant, have a bad day or medical event (sprained ankle, angina) or some combination of those.
I don't think you have any sense of the numbers involved here. Most people ARE equipped with cell phones - the type of gear you're suggesting is prohibitively expensive and many would call it intrusive.
