[QUOTE="user 7268, post: 665353, member: 7268"] Lets not over complicate the situation we are speaking of here. The two concerned going by the search area were within 20K of the North coast of Tassie and that's not mentioning the surrounding towns rivers and roads also within 20K. They were not in the middle of WA or the Sahara desert, in fact given their surrounds in all honesty you would not even class it as remote? All they had to do was determine North and they hit the coast, not even a map required? Once again it's not rocket science it's merely common sense. Electronic aids good or bad will never compensate for common sense I'm afraid. Truth is they probably ran out of smokes or needed a beer so made the call. Anyways will leave you with it as it's probably just the fact given current economic times i'm sick of having my pocket lightened by others for easily avoided reasons. Not sure if many realise what that call out would have cost in cold hard cash? Cash that we are all paying for 🤔 Cheers ps Note ! They were found [B]Safe and Well, [/B]a brain and their two legs they could have simply walked out of there and could only add if you don't have the skill sets on how to find your way in the bush then don't go there. Once again the fix is so simple. [/QUOTE]
