some people just shouldn't be away from concrete and Latae's I guess

some people just shouldn't be away from concrete and Latae's I guess. The MBiker was on a mb track with multiple branches, Me I was exercising my dogs with their collars off and a bayonet under my arm. Something we were allowed to do but no firearms.

Macchiatos are legit though?

@JRW87

That doesn't always work out to be the best choice, hence always carry a Map and a GPS with you and know how to use them.

That way you can easily navigate your way out of trouble.

The Aussie I found in the creek had been following it down stream.

Had he kept following this stream he would have had to negotiate another 5kms of tight gorgy stream before he would hit the farm land only to find he was 4.5kms from the road end and his car, which he wouldn't have know was there because he wouldn't of seen it or the Farm house about 3kms from where he would have ended up. So would have more than likely have followed the stream some more.

We climbed the right hand ridge through thick bush up 150m which took us 20mins. Once on the ridge we picked up the track and could see the road and his car below us.

30 minutes later he was heading for home.

You can usually get a very good view of the surrounding landscape from most ridges on the eastern side of the Ruahines so climbing a ridge is a very good option if your looking to navigate your way out.

I saw this note on a white toyota hilux at a road end today.

I am not a fan of the old "follow a creek" advice myself as it often finds you sitting at the top of a bloody waterfall with no safe way down
