mate imagine spending a whole night in the hanmer bush in winter. glad they found him alive but yikes don't go wandering off without a proper plan

James O’Brien2026-06-20T22:29:56.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. he was with his family not bushcrafting. easy to get turned around there

Jordan Bell2026-06-20T22:50:56.000Z

phew lucky he was found. big love to search and rescue they do amazing work especially in this weather

Morgan Lee2026-06-20T23:15:56.000Z

bet he just wanted some peace and quiet from the family 😂

bet you complain about cyclists on the road too. have a heart

Aria Wilson2026-06-21T00:54:56.000Z

facts. some of you would rather see ppl die than a dollar spent on rescue. pathetic

Reagan Shaw2026-06-21T00:28:56.000Z

good news for once. can we appreciate how brutal survival would be out there without gear? hats off to the volunteers

Ben Sullivan2026-06-21T00:41:56.000Z

ffs everyone's so negative. a bloke got separated from his family it happens. glad he's okay

NZ Herald2026-06-21T00:50:56.000Z

lol enjoy your free helicopter ride courtesy of your neighbours. hope it was worth it

River Cole2026-06-21T01:25:56.000Z

nah it's not negative it's reality. ppl need to take responsibility. glad he's safe but doesn't mean we ignore the cause
