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 ??
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.

He might be referring to the military surplus in Wellington or k road Auckland.

I'm a skinny fencer (slim if you're being nice) but even slim can fool people sometimes (like the 19 year old who tried me on with a crush handshake the other day - turned the tables on him and later saw him nursing it haha)
The armband just isn't suitable for the work I do. I'll keep thinking.
so what does one look for in a plb? never used or seen one, about to be over the hill so to speak, not as fast or agile as I once was starting to think of safetynow finally after 30 years of running amuk in hills
Not sure to be honest. I bought the k t I one off skippers mate for 300 bucks. There was a thread on them on here and they seemed to get good reviews.
It's not the smallest size. There's a smaller one for a bit more. But the main things are the transmission frequency and battery life I think. Mine is good for ten years so only costs 30 a year. Best value for money out there.

KTI seemed the pick of the bunch when I got mine too. Add to this that my mates all chose the KTI without knowing I had got one or that and without me knowing they were looking....
