Long live the spare-key-lanyard!!!Quote:
Fishing Lake Eucumbene last yr, up early rushing around to go out on water with mate in boat. Each had own vehicle, where is me keys? Looked all over up thru tussock to w/c, thru gear no joy (2hrs stressing). Wind was crap decided to lift boat get a lift home with mate, picked up spare keys and back in the trusty 2.4 lt nav ute with wife, gained entry and then headed back home (let her drive the GU), keep the peace (150 ks each way).
Spent mega bucks on new coded/remote key and got a couple of non coded key (entry only). Few days after getting new key, sorting out gear, shoved hand thru sleeve of Gore-Tex jacket (has pull in sleeve cuffs) and yep keys fell out on the ground (now 3 coded). Stuff.
Now, always when up bush or stressed, have a non coded key hanging around my neck and stays there. Coded keys in safe place (not in my pocket).
