Rescue Me Personal Locator Beacon (PLB1)

Compact, light weight and simple to use the rescueME PLB1 is perfect for hiking, kayaking or for everyday use. The rescueME PLB1 provides the reassurance that global emergency services can be alerted by the press of a button.

**Please note, all PLBs must be registered prior to use. This PLB can only be registered in Australia, by an Australian resident. We will register your PLB if you purchase in-store or talk you through it if you order online. More info can be found on the Australian Maritime Safety Authority website here **

The rescueMe PLB1 can be operated with a single hand in even the most challenging situations. A simple spring loaded flap covers the activation button preventing inadvertent use.

rescueME PLB1 works with the only officially recognised worldwide dedicated search and rescue satellite network (operated by Cospas Sarsat). As this is funded by governments there are NO CHARGES to use this service.

When activated the rescueME PLB1 transmits your position and your ID to a Rescue Coordination Center via satellite link. Rescue services nearest to your are promptly notified of your emergency and regularly advised of your current location to assist prompt rescue.

The rescueME PLB1 has an included flotation pouch to enable it to float. Please note that the PLB will not float in an operating position in the pouch. Please ensure the PLB is firmly attached to the pouch with the provided lanyard, using suitable self locking knots.

* Always refer to the manufacturer for specific instructions before installing this product directly to your life jacket.

Excellent

Absolutely love these Nalgene bottles. My previous 1 is at least 5 yrs old and still going strong. They don't leak, they are tough and a great all round drinking bottle at a fair price. Highly recommend

Great shoe and really appreciated the call from the team at Past Outdoors to advise they are small fitting so I upsized and got the perfect fit :)

Arcade Adventure Capture Belt - Illusion

Reliable and easy to clean

This is my second BeFree filter as my first is nearing the 1000 litre limit. The flow rate is close to the advertised 2 litres per minute though I’m sure it will start to slow down after a few more uses as did my original. All in all, I like its functionality, ease of use and simplicity to clean. Pairs well with my CNOC 3 Litre bag.

Smooth and easy to mix

Really great Plant Protein, it’s smooth, easy to mix and is stacked with nutrition. We use the Vanilla to mix with frozen fruit for smoothies.

Down Quilt

Recently purchased an Ultralight Down Quilt for my hiking trips. Best decision & purchase I've made for my sleeping comfort on trail. It's warm and provides me plenty of space to move my long legs. Definitely recommend this quilt. No going back to conventional sleeping bags for me.

Great product

The CNOC 42 mm 3 litre water container is a bit heavier than the equivalent Katadyn 42mm 3 litre water container that I normally use with the BeFree filter. However, the CNOC is much easier to fill when you are hanging over the edge of a river bank scooping up water due to its wide mouth which is similar to that of many backpack water bladder openings. It’s also easier to clean due to openings at either end compared to the single opening on the Katadyn. Overall, I’m pleased with its functionality and I’d recommend it to anyone who uses a BeFree filter.
