[QUOTE="davent, post: 617976, member: 6002"] Mate, the patch where I worked last wet season, you got disorientated 50m from the car. I made a dumb mistake, and tried to be cagey. Parked my car about 1 km from my patch. On my way home, plotted a course on the gps, only the gps didn't show flood Plains. I was in real, very serious trouble after I crossed the first one. Because I was met with a 2nd , bigger one with 2 creek crossings. Took me nearly 5 hours to travel a couple of km. I had a radio, gps, water bottle, and thank God I also had a life straw. My heart rate was through the roof. It was about 35 deg and close to 100% humidity. By the time I got home, both legs were cramping ,calves and thighs. If I didn't have a gps and the life straw and an umbrella (I used it for shade) I reckon I would have died. [/QUOTE]
