    I just do not know how we survived.
    Didn't have cellphones.
    When into the bush for a week or two without anybody really worrying about us.
    Would get dropped off,pick us up on such and such day.
    Worked all day without anybody knowing what we were up to.
    Had my phoned disconnected because I hadn't paid my bill.
    Still ran a business told the boys pick you up in the morning.
    Picked them up in the morning.
    In some ways it really was pretty simple then.
    But I guess we subconsciously took responsibility for ourselves.

    Yeah for sure but 'simple minds' within the context it's being said...kinda on the edge of insulting...

    Some of you guys need to step away from the keyboard and go hunt something!
    Please yourself if you take a beacon or not...

    Now if you had a plb you could cross that flooded river safe in the knowledge that when your corpse pushes the button they will find and revive you

    I sincerely hope you don't fall over and impale yourself idiotically in the jugular on your PLB aerial. I mean, it could happen.

    Well that's the thing mate.

    My years in the bush without a PLB (that I have miraculously survived to date) have taught me not to go near that river no matter how desperate I was to get anywhere. Simple I know.

    Wet noodles at ten paces should sort it.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Same. I have spent a few in wet and fine for various reasons. But since I have been well prepared always carrying a fly and a good puffer jacket in a dry bag with food and brew gear I have never needed them.

    Better at judging the weather these days I guess.
