Situations like this are EXACTLY what dry bags, and emergency blankets are for. As well as signalling devices, such as a small pen flare gun i carry with 3 flares, a whistle. Glowstick with string attached for spinning, as well as the strobe feature on my headlamp and flashlight and a small signal mirror (which doubles as first aid equipment for examining yourself and your eyes ect) But emergency blankets are for just such occasions as this. You wont be cozy and comfortable with JUST that, but you WILL survive if used correctly. And even wet animal skin is an extremely valuable resource in this situation especially since he had a sleeping pad for insulation off the ground, and a tent even just to break the wind and protect from more rain
Essential equipment MUST be in dry bags protected, but emergency blankets work no matter what, they are ESSENTIAL survival equipment. Especially if you have a candle as well to light and wrap up in the blanket around it.
Always have a survival kit with you when in the back country…. It doesnt have to be large, to save your life. I see so many people neglect this and it is a huge part of why people die.
But the Emergency locator beacon is outstanding, i love when people are smart enough to carry one. But you can still succumb to exposure before rescue if you dont have the survival equipment on hand in the meantime.
What a dork. Ozzie passports are boring to listen to when you are from AU. What a Wayne Kerr. The guy who thinks cats and dogs can cross breed – leading strangers into danger for a personal thrill. Great. What an example. Free Helicopter rides for every Effing Sea. My fellow Aussies love to dramatise the most mundane crap. WOW he fell over! OMG!!
