[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 473682, member: 12692"] Eski, if you haven't already, check out comments on the next subject under yours re PLB's I kinda like to play 'Ambassador for Safety' in the bush/outback [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=473461#p473461[/url] having satellite comms is good, but an Aust Emergency Beacon is a very good quick way to get help on its way to you. having both is ideal. As I stated in the other subject post, a PLB is very cheap life insurance, 1 off cost, & batteries are usually good for at least 7yrs (10yrs in the kti) of course the extent of service you require depends on how far from civilisation you venture, but I know of cases where people have been lost in dense bush & the whole time they have only been a couple of km from a well used road. get the most & best safety gear you can afford to. And include a snake bite kit! [/QUOTE]
