[QUOTE="Gordon Jane, post: 665268, member: 23742"] Take away any and all possible stupidity by said prospectors, this potentially is a real problem. With a task at hand, the blinkers come on and one becomes less focused on the other issues. I’ve experienced this first hand! Responding to a bushfire at work recently, fire was extinguished, and we were armed with only DCPs (on all mine vehicles) covering any small spot fires and potential flare ups. I’d managed to walk around 500m without realising. Focusing more on the task and nothing else. Wearing my blinkers. I could see how this could become an issue prospecting. Focusing on the swing and tones rather than the walking directions, trails etc Regardless, good to hear everyone was found safe. [/QUOTE]
