I just bought some of those lithum AA batteries and have them loaded in
a spare battery pack labeled "emergency use only". I also have a note
attached with the emergency frequency for my passengers in case I am
incapacitated.

They'll last in virtually any temperature until 2021....

That's my emergency plan too.

Do airliners or other aircraft routinely monitor 121.5?

Just get the local center frequencies from a Low Level chart, and
start making mayday calls.
