What happened?
I had left on the Saturday morning on a solo backpacking hunting trip in the Victorian high country, when I was out hunting the following morning I broke my ankle and fibula .
I had no phone reception or couldn’t get anyone on the vhf radio so I used my PLB.
Within 45 minutes I had a helicopter above me , which picked me up and took me to my home town to reunite with my wife and children, so the PLB saved a lot of stress!
Words of wisdom
Solo backpacking/hunting is only a good idea if you have an ACR beacon!
Thank you note
Thank you ACR!
