[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 244549, member: 1414"] We have carried some out of date marine smoke flares in our van for years, I know this doesn't help you if you're out walking but if you're bogged or broken down and you see or hear chopper/plane/vehicle in distance this may help. Also have a HF Barrett Radio in the ute. Last year the "Ant man" was found near death out Laverton way, if he had lit a fire he may have been rescued earlier? (You should always have a box of waterproof matches in your pocket.) For this season and coming years have purchased a GPS/EPIRB and it is registered for both marine and land use, accurate within 50 metres, no on going or annual fees, no messaging. The unit we purchased; GME MT600G - Manually activated class 2 406 MHz EPIRB. **Note** It is a little known fact that in WA (can't quote for other states) [u]A SINGLE[/u] EPIRB can be used for both marine & land use.** [url]http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/imarine/epirbs.asp[/url] [/QUOTE]
