EPIRB on Board sticker

Yes, I said worst case scenario........

I am not talking just around the corner from home,

ev I think I'm missing it too. Haven't the rescuers already arrived if someone is there to set it off?
Best case scenario if you're unconscious & someone came along, set off your epirb to get the Emergency services to repsond would need to wait minimum 5 hours (possibly 2 days) to get rescue under way & find you then a further 2 hours to get you to a Morgue because more likely than not you will have already passed away particually if you were that beat up you couldn't flick a switch.
I think many place too much faith in epirbs in thinking that a helicopter is sitting there waiting ready to rescue them from the most remote places in OZ should something go wrong. It's far more important to make preparations to look after yourself & get your own help. Radio's & phones will give instant communication with the emergency services so they can be directed quickly to the scene without wasting their recourses (& our taxpayer $$$).
As for the sticker I'm sorry but I think they don't produce them anywhere because there are not that many insecure & paranoid 4 wheel drivers around to buy them.
As you can see I'm not a big fan of epirbs as I reckon they're one of the most useless assessory carried in a 4x4, best left for boat users ;-))

I had a laminated notice inside on the sun visor telling where the EPIRB and flares were, but need to have a letting off ceremony as the flares are just out of date now. Just in case someone is in a position but disoriented indside the cabin.

Bring em up John when Maries back from looking after her Mum in bannockburn and you and H can come for a feed abd FLARE party.

neighbours would know there was a problem in your house with two orange smokies and two red magnesiums on the Barby burner..........

They'd just think I was doing the BBQ thing again mate

I think that the EPIRB (or PLB if you have upgraded) should be on you not the vehicle. Worst case scenario - alone on an isolated track and vehicle catches fire. Now you are in the middle of nowhere with no supplies, no comms, no hope. But you did have an EPIRB or PLB, which is now burning merrily along with the rest of your gear. Makes you feel a lot better having it!

So if you are going to have one, put it on yourself - it's not the vehicle that needs rescuing.
Just my opinion etc etc
