[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 665452, member: 3960"] We had a situation over here some years back. I guy who we'd met at a week long Muster near Kookynie had been prospecting in that area for years. On this occasion he got lost or at least disorientated to the point of not being able to return to camp at the expected time. His wife who rarely left the camp raised the alarm however the prospector never bothered triggering his PLB because he knew the area well enough to know that he'd eventually get out. He did but not before a huge search was carried out over four days. He knew he was ok but nobody else did. If he'd have set off his PLB it may have been embarrassing but it would have prevented a lot of lost time and money. [/QUOTE]
