Thread: Missing hunter

Some times a flat battery or patchy reception can make you more off grid than you planned for.
People in town expect instant contact unless you warn them.

PLB is always a good idea too just in case of accident let alone getting lost . Never really bothered until fairly recently after some of the stories I have been hearing about lost or injured hunters/trampers. We have been hiring one for the weekend whenever we go for a long walk but is now on top of the next purchase list. A hunter locally was saved by having a PLB when he suffered a heart attack out bush. 20 mins later was in hospital.... and I'm not getting any younger either.
