Thread: PLB story

Can't go in to details, but was chatting with someone who had good reason to set off their PLB. SAR phoned their emergency contact to get more information. The emergency contact said they were fine because they had received a text from them 5 minutes earlier saying everything was OK. A lot happened in the following 5 minutes and the individual concerned no longer had mobile reception. Moral of story, tell your emergency contacts not to say you're OK unless absolutely certain!
