[QUOTE=308;539179]It ain't cold enough out there to die overnight[/cQUOTE].

I won't second guess how these fellahs met their end but I think that if someone was wet ( even damp from excessive perspiration climbing a hill ) and the wind chill factor was high enough then the disorientation from succumbing to hypothermia and the shutting down of the body as it tried to keep vital organs warm could well contribute to death in a short period like overnight.

The anti 1080 nutters are suggesting they got poisoned....

I'm sure I read somewhere today that they stated the temp was below zero that night and a likely cause of death but to be confirmed.....

It isn't just Brad's Dundee. If I was cold and recognised the onset of hypothermia and you were handy you would be surprised how quickly you would become my belly warming bitch.

I'd rather die!

And that is why you're always hunting alone...

A tramper who called the rescue helicopter for help after leaving his insulin behind received a second surprise call-out after accidentally activating his emergency beacon in his car as he was leaving.

The man activated his emergency beacon at 7.30am on Boxing Day because he was a diabetic and had left his insulin in his vehicle while tramping in the Ruahine Range near Dead Dog Hut, Hawke's Bay Helicopter Rescue Trust said.

The Rescue Co-ordination Centre NZ receives the activation and then alerts the most appropriate agency to respond.

The Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter airlifted the man back to the car park where he had left his insulin and he continued on his tramp.

But at 6pm when the same beacon signalled again, the rescue helicopter returned due to concerns the diabetic was having complications.

However, the trust said the man was found safe and well and the beacon had been accidentally activated in the back of his car as he was leaving the car park at the Ruahine Range.

The rescue helicopter went out again after the rescue co-ordination centre was unable to reach the man to make sure it had not been accidentally activated so assumed it was an emergency.

Hawke's Bay Helicopter Rescue Trust marketing and fundraising manager Laura Hyde said: "We recommend that if you are tramping, working in, or visiting remote locations where there may not be cell phone coverage, that you carry a Personal Locator Beacon [PLB]. They really do save lives should an emergency happen."
