Hay guys this is why everyone should carry a pbl
I slipped down a bank tonight went a whole 3 - 4 feet and stopped. Bumped a small tree on the way and it ripped my shoulder from its socket.
Tryed about a doz times to pop it back in. Smashed over a punger and hit a tree but to no avail.
I made a sling with my hoodie and put my backpack on one arm grabbed the t3 walking pole.
I ended up climbing up to a point i had phone reception about 2 - 300y got a txt out to my emergency contact saying how i discloted my shoulder. I also phoned a mate hunting in the same area but his phone was at camp.
On my last amount of battery i managed to get a post up on the fishn hunt forum.
Unfortunately due to shock and no time it was a terrible message and as i tryed again my phone went flat.
I punched my pbl and over the next hour in darkness i let 4 shots off. about an hour later the chopper was in my area.
There was an issue and they couldn't pick up my pbl.
They finally spotted my torch on strobe but couldn't get to me.
I allways carry a wistle and was blowing that sucker about every 5min.
One of the groups hurd me on one of the tracks about 400y away and went to camp to alert yhe others.
About 5 hours after the slip
Philipo, hamish and one other guy from the grouo brought a sar guy to me.
We strapped the shit out of my arm and using a pole and in a lot of pain we all walked out.
About 2 hours later i was in the chopper on the way to rotovegas.
Got put on the gas and after many attempts they managed to get it back in.
Now im waiting on xrays to cheek for damage since it was out for so long.
Would love to thank the guys for coming up and making the way down as good as possible.
