One thing i have learnt always be prepared for anything. OR as best as you can i always Carry UHF radio, phone and emergency satellite beacon or (EPIRB),first-aid kit, puncher kit, and exter 10 letters of petrol which make 35 letters, tucker and lots of water . Its a good idea to let some one no where you are going you would be surprised how many people go bush and get Cort-out . It could be days before some one finds you but all in all i find it to be very relaxing and enjoyable
