[QUOTE="Goldface, post: 450002, member: 13395"] Absolutely true about finding the body faster... Search and Rescue found my body, albeit a very groggy body, after being tagged by a brown snake on the hand climbing up a creek bank. I pressure bandaged it, set off my PLB, had a chopper over my head in about an hour, made it to hospital, spent quite a while recovering, still alive right now. What was your bad experience with a PLB? My experience a few years back was quite good. saved my life for about 300 bucks. Well, $310 bucks if you include a pressure bandage. I kind of rate them both quite highly in my books. PS. Snake bites are not fun. I don't recommend trying one. Cheers [/QUOTE]
