The SAR guys searched for the gear up from where the OP fell. The site is in a gully towards the head of the block. Not pretty. If you've been in that shit you'll know what I'm talking about. If you haven't been, don't. The bum bag could have been seperated anywhere in that vegetation, and you not know it. The OP did extremely well to survive. Big ups to the team involved too.

yep got myself in deep shit trying to take a short cut I should have known better ABIG THANKS TO THE GUY WHO RESCUED ME
