Cavalier attitude mate - survive to hunt again, or join the Darwin awards and die of a broken ankle & hypothermia?
Sure, they haven't always existed and we didn't know what we were missing before they were invented - but you only need it once to make it worthwhile...
Unlike other technology; this should be considered essential IMHO.

Thanks mate - not righteous...realist.
And apologies for being all preachy about it; but many of us don't want to think about the "what if" scenario.
I will back my "better safe than sorry" ass back to the bushline

All good. Gotta realise though that mankind has being doing this stuff for a long and sometimes shits gonna happen. It sucks for the people that it happens to and the people around them. That's the way it is. As R93 said I just don't have a PLB never said it wasn't a good idea to have one.

I started hunting at fifteen then fifty four years past without a disaster,touch wood. How the body has changed since those times. Rabbit Boards,South Canterbury Wallaby Board,NZFS,,contract Shooting privately and self employed meat hunting. With that past planet long gone now I look back and wonder how the hell myself and mates ever got through that era without a fatal whoopsy,a lot didn't. we did some crazy things at times.
The cook told me a couple of years or so back '' if your gunna keep this up then It would be nice to know where your at if the shit hit's the fan, get a PLB or whatever they're called''.
Her exact words and for once in my life I agreed with her lol.

He's just saying he doesn't have one.
I don't either and would be in the hills more than most.
Not to say I will never get one but I am not in a hurry.

As above mate - don't mean to come across evangelist or preachy... Personally I would be in a hurry to carry one: but then, it's just my opinion (one of millions on the internet....)

You might not mean to, but you're still preaching.

Millions of people on the Internet share your opinion?

That's great.

Double post - may as well emphasise my point: ...roll a dice, or an ankle?
