Water Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Paul “Woody” Woodward, president of the Alpine Rescue Team: Woodward just got a PLB himself. “I think they’re a good tool,” he said. “If I was going solo on an extended trip, I might want to take it. If something happened on day four of a 12-day trip, no one might know for eight days that I was even missing.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'm working on an article on this topic for the NWMJ this year. If you have comments to share send me a pm or post them. I'm sure they SAR folks are relieved to have solved this mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
