Thread: Glow sticks showing the safe way home.

I used to hunt a couple of spots where it was a good 1.5hr walk in from the road. We'd hunt these gullies until dark and then use our old maglites to find the pink tape track and walk out. Basically to save a night in the bush. Coming out at night had all sorts of issues, used to lose the track all the time, batteries would go flat, bulbs would blow, etc. Most trips were an adventure, considering we often had loads of venison on board as well. Then one day when the roadies were replacing the old wooden marker pegs with plastic ones I grabbed a heap of reflectors off them, cut them into small squares and nailed them to trees along the tracks into these spots. Made walking out in the dark an absolute breeze. I'd recommend it for any regular hunts you guys do where you often walk out at night.

Im the same as R93 when hunting in new spots. Happy to walk out in the dark with a headlight and some spare batteries. Always carrying a map, compass and GPS in new country anyway.
