Thread: Hunter rescued by helicopter after accidentally stabbing himself

But all this knowledge is for you CH,you know,when you get old.....................er. A pace maker? now that just might be the go, I could run up a steep ridge,can I get one off Trademe?

Yep, there comes a time when it`s best to have one, I hire one and it lives in my bum pack, so when you have a hip op, and deaf as a post it`s a no brainer. MY wife wont let me go hunting with out one, great.

Does anyone know the % Stat of what actually get activated in a year.
I am guessing here - about 2% ????????

That's an impressive guess.
But for what reasons?...too many sandflies, still raining, quite tired etc...

what what

To me it's simple

I don't own a PLB, however when people ask why not I have no defence, I admit I'm complacent and should really get one. I plan on buying one in the very near future.

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.

you are right they are good insurance, I will have to stick close to you so either of us can activate if the need ever arose. Have a beer with your name on it waiting for your next visit.

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

Another story of "lucky to have had one"

Puketitiri farmer rescued by Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter after bull attack - NZ Herald

Hopefully he had a good feed of steak that night

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.
