A non-map based option is WhatThreeWords. See if you can suit your needs.

 
I looked at it quite a bit and it woudln't be suitable for me.  I don't
have any way to generate the 3 words while I'm hiking, and every 10 feet
I'd need another set of 3 words.  Plus there is no relationship between
the words for one location and the adjacent locations.
 
Plus if I could generate the words, my friend would not know what they
mean,

I  was thinking more for your friend to be able to relay your location more
easily than google map coordinates.

and I doubt the local police would understand them either. 

Why? Many rescue services are fully aware.

So how
could they rescue me?

You could ask them.

However, it's definitely interesting
 

The system has covered the whole planet surface in a grid of 3x3m squares
each defined by a unique combination of three words e.g.
The White House

It is ideal for giving directions where there's no points of reference.
