in modern techno PC world some people always know within a meter or two where they are....the concept of knowing APPROXAMATELY where you are is foreign to them
I cannot be lost in New Zealand...... why not...cause Im in New Zealand therefore I know where I am. also know if Im in North or South Island
which region Im in eg Canterbury which is in east coast..see Im narrowing it down already...speaking of DOWN that's the way water flows..anywhere on east coast or west for that matter it will flow towards coast and cross a road.
Ive been temporarily navigationally embarrassed for hour or two but it was never an issue......now Stuart Island is a weird place in than its mainly flat and features not helpful and that's where a compass comes in..remember those, we used them before GPSs came alongat least these guys made it out ok and had brains to make phone call to end search.

Cant get lost ,bold statement I can put you in the Motu area and you would get lost as many do. I can also put you in the Kaimanawas forest park and you could get lost . A wise man never say's never

That's not emergency gear scouser, that's bare essentials

it would result in an uncomfortable night with next to no sleep, BUT i will be alive and well, and after a few hours to think on it, a plan would be hatched to get out under my own steam...

i always carry a PLB, but thats for real emergency's, not getting lost....i always tell him there my 'lucky charms', take them and I'll never need them....dont take them and.....!

Oooh a big survival blanket .... Cosy!!!!

I got bushed once in Pureora had gps n a compass got out ok but was a real mind fuck when I didn't know where exactly I was. Canopy was too thick for gps n compass was saying a different way to where I thought I was going . I told my boss about whose done a bit of hunting (30 years +)'trust your gear' he said

point Im making is Im not lost...just wouldn't know where precisely I was at that point in time
once you think you are LOST your mindset turns to custard.... being temporarily misplaced isn't necessarily a life ending thing, stay calm and chances of a positive outcome are much higher.

yeah and how many times do you stand up from one of those wee breaks...back in the day a "smoke stop" and a plurry deer takes off!!!!!
amazing how your mind settles and can solve puzzle if you stop calm down and refuel.

You missed the "In" joke mate... Have hunted with him a number of times and was more angling we could "share" even though i carry my own stash too. If you saw us hunting you'd think we were turtles the amount of what if stuff we take in with us - but we wouldn't have it any other way...

Just to clarify!!

After 32 years in SAR...I believe it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to find an effort more satisfying...there all sorts of emotional issues and also lots of tears....some of joy ...lots of sadness because we could not deliver a family the result we all wished for...if you want to join please dont wait just do it there is plenty of support, just ask at any Police Station for the SAR co-ordinator....do it....good luck...

Not wrong Kaweka...

Госпиталю не хватает материи для перевязки, мне поручили обойти купцов, торгующих материей, с просьбой пожертвовать ее для госпиталя. Мне станет гораздо спокойнее, если он будет находиться за надежным засовом. Рыскал по причалу, как охотничий пес в поисках утраченного следа.

Ну, раз шутишь, значит, все в порядке. Но главное, конечно, не в деньгах.

Сам рассказывал, что в его мире женщины наравне с мужчинами в армии служат. Все это чепуха, но она важна для твоей карьеры. С виду довольно просто, мне же было безумно страшно. Все головы в плечи и домой.

No thanks, I already have one
