Дальгард вспомнил свой страшный сон, руку, грозящую прихлопнуть его. Деньги нужны именно церкви, и как всякий посредник она заботится только о своем благе.

Госпиталю не хватает материи для перевязки, мне поручили обойти купцов, торгующих материей, с просьбой пожертвовать ее для госпиталя. Мне станет гораздо спокойнее, если он будет находиться за надежным засовом. Рыскал по причалу, как охотничий пес в поисках утраченного следа.

Ну, раз шутишь, значит, все в порядке. Но главное, конечно, не в деньгах.

Сам рассказывал, что в его мире женщины наравне с мужчинами в армии служат. Все это чепуха, но она важна для твоей карьеры. С виду довольно просто, мне же было безумно страшно. Все головы в плечи и домой.

No thanks, I already have one

Was up there today, came across pink tapes across the track. Was a bit confused at first however then read that they were tapes SAR had put there as "checkpoints" for the area they had searched.

pick a line and walk, it is not rocket science!

I hunt often in the kaimais, and fail to grasp these situations.

Bitch at me as you will, however I stand by my post.

Plenty of people get "lost" in areas they are familiar with, and often it is because they believe it won't happen to them.
The over Reliance on electronics to keep you on the right path can, in my opinion, be the downfall of a few as well.

Could be any number of reasons why. I know a diabetic guy who let his blood - sugar get too low and couldn't find his way out of a 2Ha suburban reserve (undulating terrain, covered in mature to Totara and Puriri). If he got to the point where he couldn't brain, and therefore couldn't work his mobile, he might not have come back out.

I was thinking about joining Search & Rescue, but I just don't know if I could handle looking for people like this.

Their ignorance is at almost impressive levels.

After 32 years in SAR...I believe it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to find an effort more satisfying...there all sorts of emotional issues and also lots of tears....some of joy ...lots of sadness because we could not deliver a family the result we all wished for...if you want to join please dont wait just do it there is plenty of support, just ask at any Police Station for the SAR co-ordinator....do it....good luck...

No offence mate, but if that is your attitude, find something other than sar

Yep. That's what I said.

O to be so clever, I got lost, less than 600 mtrs from a road, in a woods in Illinois, after shooting a squirrel at last light, gps does not like dense canopy, and darkness falls quickly, you can,t see the stars , I always carry a head lamp, water , and plenty of ammo, walking into ravines can be disorienting , over a hour later I reached the road.

Anyone who hasn't spent a night out hasn't been doing it very long. Glad they're safe and sound

I went for a run in the Hunuas once, and once only. Took no food and not enough water. Stayed on tracks, but did a Forrest Gump and got the the end and decided to turn around and keep on going, Jenny.

Decided to finally head back to the car when I STARTED getting cramp. Oh fuck, the car is 8km away along poorly maintained tracks full of stairs.

The last 2km took about an hour. Was able to text wifey and get myself back to the car before dark. Ran, then walked, then crawled 22km that day. I started the day with the mental image that I'm still as fit as I was at my peak, 5 years earlier.

Lesson learned, fitness reality well and truly checked, and now I carry enough on a day trip to be comfortable overnight.

Hopefully these guys learn their lesson. Complacency and overconfidence can be killers.

I think they should change their names to dum and dummer. You have to be dum to go into the bush at this time of the year without cover and something to eat. Its just plain common sense
