These ppl must wake up one day and say " F**k it, lets do the outback, pack a slab and a swag and take off.
Never argue with an idiot, cos he'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

My feelings go out.
Working out bush for the last 7 years planning like that is second nature.
Can we make this a sticky thread or make a sticky thread highlighting the risks involve with remote travel and minimum recommended ewuipment to take.
Stick it with the never snatch from towballs post

Hi threedogs. Couldn't agree more - I posted up something from my experience with EPIRBs/PLBs which might be worth taking a look at for your thoughts too.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...PIRBs-and-PLBs
I know some of the newer PLBs also come with tracking and minimal code sending options as well which didn't write up about but they are pretty good too - but the subscriptions can add a bit to the base cost.

Is this the death we spoke about last week 3d of the guy checking the Bore?
If that's the death you refer to then I'm happy to make That thread a sticky as it was a pretty comprehensive discussion. Of greater value to newbys than a condolence thread.
It included News Thread of the death and links to video of the area.
Unless there is a new death of some goose in Hyundai?? As Chris stated but I think he was taking the piss?? Maybe?? God I hope so!!!
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!
