    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Another great result team

    "Missing tramper located safe and well"

    The missing Austrian tramper, David Schopf has now been located.

    Just before 6pm today an aerial search located David approximately five kilometres down river from the Waitewaewae Hut.

    The helicopter that conducted the aerial search, an NZ Airforce NH90, winched David out from the bush.

    David was flown to Levin and is currently speaking to officers.

    Police want to thank everyone who was involved in the search.

    Glad this guy made it out.

    I get motion sickness pretty easy, my ride in nh90 went great. When they started doing low flying maneuvers over the ridges I felt a bit uneasy but still didn't lose my lunch kudos to the pilot.

    Also being a 10 ton machine it has a lot of downdraft and noise. I recommend lugging around some ski goggles and earmuffs with your PLB for the next time you compound fracture and need the kerosene taxi.

    You will notice recurring themes in these search reports: party splits up; no intentions lodged; inadequate gear; no map; no means of communications; failure to seek advice; poor planning; not being prepared for a night out in the scrub, etc. Yet these events will keep on happening, because people don't learn from the mistakes of others. As a park ranger (40 years) and a SAR Adviser to the Police (27 years) I took part in over 250 SAR operations, and the causes were always one (or more) of those on the list above. You hoped that people would learn from their mistakes, but I recall one party leader who we rescued 3 times! What totally annoyed me though were lengthy searches for people who "disappeared" deliberately. A woman left footprints heading into the tide on a west coast beach, and a pile of her clothing was found nearby, and a long difficult search ensued. She was discovered much later alive and well, living in Sydney. Seems she was having relationship difficulties! A big shout out for LANDSAR- like volunteer firefighters, they are ordinary people doing an extraordinary job!

    "Search for missing hunter continues"

    Search and Rescue teams from Wellington, Manuwatu, Horowhenua and the Wairarapa are continuing their search for missing hunter 28 year old Timothy Cleghorn today. Cleghorn, also known as Timothy Aicken, has not returned from a hunting trip after leaving his home Wednesday night.

    It is believed that Mr Cleghorn has his dog with him, a tan bull mastiff with a chain around its neck. Mr Cleghorn is described as white, of skinny build and is believed to be wearing a white t-shirt and green camouflage pants. Today's search will continue through difficult terrain in the Akatarawa Saddle down through to the Waikanae Valley.

    Ten teams are part of the search along with the assistance of a local 4WD club.

    Searchers will also be door-knocking along Akatarawa Road to see if any residents have spotted him. Anyone with any information or sightings of Mr Cleghorn is asked to contact Wellington Police on (04) 381 2000 and ask to speak with Sergeant Anthony Harmer.
