The self rescue packs are like an insurance policy. You take it out hoping you will not need it!
If you were buried you have a chance of being found in time to be alive.
The first 15 minutes are critical. After that your chances of survival decrease rapidly.
It is a cheap insurance!

The JGA Trust packs are for schools and groups as a teaching tool can be booked online. The ASK packs are also available with the M1 transceivers
|
|
The ASK packs are for individual users.
10 ASK packs are based around Mt. Ruapehu for easy access.
Edge to Edge and Adventure Headquarters have them for day by day rental.
The other 10 packs I have at home and they are for groups who wish to get organised before they head off.
