[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 46204, member: 147"] An Epirb probably wouldn't help much if biten by a Tiapan in a remote area. A good knowledge of first aid and appropriate restrictive bandages would give you a better chance. By the time you set off your Epirb and Canberra picks it up, redirects the emergency response, and gets local police or rescue services to you, is far from instantaneous. Timer controlled GPS will get you into big trouble as being late back will send Canberra a false alarm, and emergency services won't take false alarms kindly. Epirbs should be set off only in "EXTREME" emergency situations. Cheers Wal. [/QUOTE]
