Thread: Hiring a PLB

Have any of you guys hired a PLB from macpac or where ever ?

I want to buy one but cant drop 500 odd bucks in one go on a item I wont use that often.

I know you are going to say " cant put a price on your life ", but fuck me why are they so expensive when they are so critical in a emergency ?

Another question , If heaven forbid , I do set one off in an emergency and have hired one from macpac or such place , do I have to replace the PLB as now its useless ?

I know I wont give a shit at the time of said emergency but it weighs on the mind if you know what I mean.....

Thanks
