Thread: Hunter rescued by helicopter after accidentally stabbing himself

I’ve said this before but after buying mine, the peace of mind it gave my wife I had one was significant. Highly recommend it for that alone!

Definitely, I even took it a step further by using a SPOT messenger so I could send her preset messages at the end of each day so she knew we were safe at camp. This has it downfalls though.... in March this year myself and @sambnz flew into some country on the west coast for a few days to have a go at some chams. I had just returned from Uruguay and the wife was still over there for a couple more weeks, I forgot to take my SPOT although we still had Sam's PLB and since my wife didn't receive any messages from Spot she panicked, got hold of Sam's partner here in NZ plus my mum and my sister and they all went on a big woman crusade ringing all the chopper operators and kicking up a big fuss haha, when James came in to pick us up first thing he said when he jumped out of the helicopter was "you boys are in big trouble!"
