What happened?
Words of wisdom
Always take a PLB into the mountains.
Don’t assume that SAR wont be able to help you. Its pretty amazing what they can fly a helicopter in and complete 3 winching maneuvers in!
Thank you note
Thanks to ACR and the Westpac rescue helicopter SAR that saved our lives.

It may be small, but it's tough. The ResQLink™+ Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) is a buoyant, GPS-enabled rescue beacon that's suited for outdoor adventures of all sizes (think: everything from hiking and cycling to hunting and fishing). Should you run into an unexpected survival situation, the ResQLink+ PLB will relay your location to a network of search and rescue satellites, allowing local first responders to more easily get you home safe and sound.
