   Siltarp fly and an exped UL synmat is what ive used for quite a few years now. Its a really good combo, light, takes up minimal room and you can set up a cosy camp almost anywhere. No need for a bivy...

   A good mat is a must. I use either a 2 man Naturehike Mongar tent, use outer only if wanted. Or a 3x3m tarp, can make a couple of different small tent configurations depending on environment, or...

   Look at the Huntec 2 man bivvy as there a solid wee unit... had mine in the Kaimanawas to Fiordland tops in some seriously shitty rain / lightning / thunder storms and stayed fine. Another option...

    With a 406 beacon (PLB,EPIRB,ELT) costs come out of RCCs budget and ACC if there is an injury. Satellite communicators like inReach and spotX, you’re at the mercy of who they contact to raise...

    Although I’ve never had cause to set off my own beacon, I’m one of the people that responds when you do. We can easily get a couple of beacons per shift in our high summer season so we’ve seen...
