    I view them much like life jackets and seatbelts.
    Do you not have my one currently???
    Really need to work out where all my gear is.

    I have been hunting and fishing for 45yrs, and have been in a couple of situations over that time where I would of triggered a plb if it had been available. I was fortunate enough to win one 5yrs ago, boy! what peace of mind, it sits beside my gps in my day bag. It is a cheap opportunity for rescue, a small price for life. As we get older so do our friends, jeez I would trigger my plb for a couple of them if a situation arose. ( if you are reading this mooseman you better bee nice to me and buy me a beer one day ) Personal locator beacons should bee standard equipment for all hunters,fishermen and outdoors action people.

    Yep always carry one. Used it once - very effective. Always good to leave plans with someone as backup though...

    Hello - My Kti just turned up. I'm a fencer and work on my own 99% of the time so thought it a good idea to have one for "work" - and it will be handy for hunting too.

    For those of you farming etc - how do you carry your PLB "everyday". I know lots of folk in farming wear a knife belt as standard clobber (I used to) , but I don't now as it conflicts with the nailbag. However my nailbag is an on again/off again thing too.

    Any thoughts ??

    Possibly use the arm pouch that comes with it, although I guess that could be a bit challenging when fencing.

    Just my 5 cents ..... Check the integrity of the arm pouch I bought one maybe 4 years ago didn't come with arm pouch just the case with belt loop, I slipped down a bank on a solo trip and the belt loop ripped clean open on a tree, I only got bruises and a wake up but got to watch the beacon (still in case carry on down hill like a rocket into bush and spent what felt like ages looking for it (needed a locator beacon locating beacon)now I try to carry in my chest pocket when possible a challenge in the warmest months.

    As I said have never seen the arm pouch but just food for thought.

    Try army navy store for Osprey carrying vest pouches. This one is ex UK Army, with orange added.

    My KTI, with its zip-up clamshell protector, fits snug into one of the Osprey's AP Grenade pouches.
