Agree , hope he's OK. Don't think insurance would help,more overseas people really don't get how changeable our weather can be.

Only if you are capable of turning it on. If you have a fall and are killed a PLB won't save you.

True. If he had an "inreach" they can be externally "pinged" for their location if they are switched on and in one piece. Better than a PLB but only in some ways, I would imagine their SOS feature is a little slower to get a reaction as it goes to their rescue centre first then they pass detail's on to RCC here then up date the user on whats happening and so forth

Not good. Get home soon Hans

Ha, if you have a fall, and are killed, nothing's gonna save you... least no technology that I know of that currently exists, is gonna anyway.

Not only overseas people. I shudder every time my sis in law goes out with her 'tramping' group, and I use that term lightly. They thought it was a good idea to go when Cyclone Cook was hitting us. Luckily it was a fizzer, but they aren't prepared enough for my liking
