The latest stuff article had the word soldier (although spelled solider) in the headline... I think it referred to a quote from the named man's father saying something along the lines of "he's a soldier" but the inference I took was regarding his character rather than his profession.
The last SAR rescue I was on turned into a body recovery mission in the Ruahine Range. Base camp was @BRADS woolshed. I came out of the bush early to get home to milk and the whanau were sitting around at the start of the bush. They asked me if we had found him but we hadn't at that stage.
Some of the whanau of these other two chaps are going in which is not recommended.
Won't forget that one in a hurry Dundee

Good work mate
The bodies have been found of the two blokes in the Tongariro National Park.
Pretty tight in there by the looks.
Good result.
"Search and Rescue Mt Ruapehu"
A 21-year-old man has been rescued following a cold, wet night on Mount Ruapehu.
Police were called at 5pm yesterday after the man did not return from a day hike up the mountain.
A search base was set up at Turangi and four search teams, around 12 people, searched overnight until 4am.
The search resumed at 7am and the man was found at around 12.50pm today.
He was cold, had a dislocated knee and was flown to Taupo Hospital.
A RNZAF NH90 helicopter, the Greenlea Rescue Helicopter, LandSAR personal, staff from Tukino Skifield and Ruapehu Alpine Lifts were integral parts in the search.
Local iwi Tuwharetoa were also involved in the search effort.
Taupo Search and Rescue Coordinator Senior Constable Barry Shepherd says the search teams did a wonderful job.
“Conditions were less than ideal with very little visibility, rain and snow, so all credit to the guys and girls at the sharp end.
“It’s a timely reminder to other trampers and walkers in the area to make sure you are well prepared for the conditions, let people know where you are going and stick to your plans,” he says.
