Thread: Lost PLB

I feel like a chump…

After a few stories on here of people being unable to reach their PLB in an emergency, I’ve switched from carrying mine on my pack to my belt. A bit of a PITA cos it clashes with my pack hip belt, but not the end of the world.

Yesterday morning it slipped off my belt during a pre-dawn toilet stop. I put it down while I rearranged my gear, but must have forgotten to reattach it. When I realised it was missing and went back for it later that day, it wasn’t there. I’m guessing someone picked it up, but I re-traced my route anyway without joy.

It's an ACR ResQLink and was lost on the track from Sladdens Bush to Ashley Saddle, Mt Oxford, in case anyone on here picked it up.
