Thread: For Those Who Have Used Your PLB

Bloody good thread. I've had an Inreach now for about 6 years, never had to use it in an emergency but it gives my wife security when I'm away as I'm usually by myself. Not only do I do a lot of hunting but I also spend a fair bit of time on the bikes. She can track me where I am and on one occasion was pouring up a beer for me when I arrived home. One of the best things with the inreach is being able to communicate with not only the rescue organisation but also family and friends etc. I've being into places and needed to be lifted out earlier than intended, and being able to contact the helicopter company has been great. Being able to get an up to date weather forecast for the area where you are is fantastic, I guess this is one of the reasons why the Canterbury Mountain Radio has now shut up shop. Yes, there is a conscription fee but if you use it as much as I do, it's minimal. And, NO, I don't get paid by Garmin for making comments like this.
