Yes you definitely need one. Peace of mind for family too
There’ll be several threads on here about them but I’m confident you’ll find CooeeBay (something like that) on here has the smallest and sharpest price. And don’t be phased he’s an Aussie. Everything works here just fine.
best investment you will ever buy., your life is worth more than the cost price
Best investment I’ve made. Got mine from skippers mate on TradeMe $315 & 10 yr battery life. From memory it was KT2i model
A NZ registered KTI from Skippers Mate in Aussie. Great price, product and service. $300-325 to you door. 10 year battery life. Dumb if you don't have one at that price.
I got a kti as a gift. It was bought from Australia, and I think that was the cheapest place.
Skippersmate, remember to register it and keep that info up to date. $300ish for 10 years is pretty cheap.
The wife made me get one two years ago, a good piece of mind especially solo hunting.

Has anyone mentioned the KTi? I have one and it goes all sorts of places, bush, road, water, ...
That’s the one I’ve been looking at because it has a 10 year battery , just don’t want to end up upgrading to somthing better if there is a chance to just buy the right thing now , suppose it’s hard because you don’t use it till you need itQuote:

They are very light and small. goes on bush walks, hunts and sailing with me.
I was given some very good advice by a professional hunting guide last year re PLB's.
I tended to keep my PLB in my pack. He pointed out what happens when you drop your pack and move away for whatever reason and bust a leg.
He suggested I keep it in a chest or arm pocket which I do now.

They are extremely good bang for buck with the 10 year battery life. I also liked that it was able to float on it's own unlike the RescueMe, and important feature for on a kayak.Quote:
