Thread: PLB saves hunter

When my dad and I hunted together(same camp but hunted separately) we had a system where if someone didn't return, someone at camp would fire a shot on the hour. Usually a couple of hours after dark.
One shot reply from the one out meant all's well just got ballsed up. See you tomorrow.
Three shot reply meant I'm in the crap, need help now. Never got a three shot reply, had a few one shot replies.
No reply was a bit concerning but wind, rivers etc can make it hard to hear and things always turned out alright.
We always carried PLBs once they were available.
We didn't spend may nights out, but it did happen.

good advice there 7mmwsm only ever spent one night out cold even with fire
