I maintain the risks of being in the bush are much lower than you clumsy types are making out it is. Reading articles like that do not concern me. 48 people died scuba diving last year. THats something to worry about.

You are being deliberately obtuse.

I find it's ironic your clearly acting the hard man but you are scared of hunting challenging terrain and think those that do are anxious the whole time. I carry a PLB just in case the things I don't control go wrong. Never used it but have been close.

I would also get bored shitless if I hunted such boring country that there was no risk (no such thing anyway). I'm glad you have been lucky but acting like it was anything other than luck and that you had complete control of how it played out is in fact being obtuse.

In all honesty the way you are talking makes me think you should get out and hunt more and stop being a miserable old prick claiming superiority due t9 not carrying a PLB. If you have never had any close calls in 50 years of hunting your either getting senial and forgetting or you didn't really hunt that much.
