German tourist found dead in Kakadu park
THE body of a German tourist has been found in the Northern Territory's Kakadu National Park.
The 63-year-old set off on the 12km Barrk Sandstone walk, south of Jabiru, with no water on Friday morning and failed to return. His wife, also German, raised the alarm, sparking an air and land search by emergency services last night and this morning. His body was found this morning, 3km from a carpark, off the walking track. A report is being prepared for the coroner. ----- I always hate stories like this. 3k (less than 2 miles) in it People really should be better prepared, and its not just australia, probably there are areas in most countries that you would struggle.... |

Yep, atleast water, water, water and water. True even in the cold and snowy north. And of course a quick and easy way to make fire

Cold and snowy dehydrates almost as quickly as a desert, except you can acquire water
from snow, plants, dirt if you know what you are doing, you should sit tight, set up a rough shelter and wait! |

63 is hardly an age where he can't do stuff on his own, I mean for god sakes my dad is almost that old and he could climb a mountain on his own. This is just a sad accident.

Lol....This happens almost weekly here in Australia, most of the time it's Euro or Yankee backpackers, lucky for them someone picks 'em up, last time it was a serial killer, but most the time they under estimate the heat go delerious and wander off, to leave their cool stuff, Ipad's etc for the abo's, who sells it for a cask of cheap wine.
Yeah! even Aussies do it, almost monthly some biker jumps his hog for 2-3 thousand mile skirt only to FAINT and be wiped out by a road train |

EDIT: 1 hour later after having gone off in to the arctic again in my mind, remembering as I a young boy in the 1980ies used to play around in the snow, go on trips with snowmobiles and getting survival knowlage from my grandfather and uncle. Damn it was awsome! I long for it so damn much that I just want to get on a plane right now! But cant Last edited by SilentTrigger; 11-01-2010 at 02:32 PM. |

Correct, extremely dangerous to eat snow when in those conditions , versus at Ayers Rock or Death Valley, it's "water" almost always there if you know how!
Always carry a plastic bag when trekking, it'll save your life. Quote:

You carry 2 condoms, so when you run outta water, you PEA, p!ss, urinate even into one condom, insert a tube, pen, shell casing into the end.
Slip the other condom over the other end of the tube, and gently bury in the unfilled condom in the sand, leaving the other condom with your pee exposed to the sun. As the pee heats up it condenses in the covered condom, and it TASTES worse than any homemade beer EVER, but will keep you alive for 2-3 days...I know I was that man.

Willy!... the above post is for informational purposes only, it does work, it worked for me and many others since world war 2, had the Jerry been aware of this he may still be alive today, 3km or 3000 meters or 3000 yards aint far at all, but when dying of thirst, and at about 50 celsius, 120f, and lost, it might as well be on the moon.
You may well be disgusted with the concept of drinking urine, but NOW you know you can do it and LIVE...or O DOWNLOAD THE US ARMY SURVIVAL MANUAL ...FREE AT CLUB MED!!!! |
