ffs mate, always someone thinking they're Sir Edmund Hillary up there without proper gear. Hope the rescue bill hits him hard.
get stuffed, he had a PLB. That's more than most numpties.
Good on the rescue teams, absolute legends. But let's be real, if you're going up the Maunga in winter without a PLB you're a galah. This guy had one at least.
tell that to my rates bill. There's a cost somewhere.
So glad he's okay! The volunteers who risk their lives for these rescues are amazing. Hope he recovers well and learns from this.
mate we all underestimate something once. glad he's ok.

Wonder what the cost of that rescue was. Taxpayers footing the bill again for some tourist who underestimated the maunga. Bloody typical.
totally agree, our rescue teams are incredible
yeah nah, glad he's safe but these callouts are getting old. Spend more on prevention than sending choppers.
na, prevention costs more than training and gear. This is what we signed up for living here.
Injured and stranded for hours, that must have been terrifying. Respect to the rescue teams for getting him down safe. 🙏
PLB saved his life again. Worth every cent. People whinge about cost but it's part of being in NZ. Good outcome.
Another day another rescue. Bet he didn't check the forecast. Maunga doesn't care about your Insta pic.
facts. ppl act like it's a walk in the park.
Rescuers are heroes. But honestly, some people need to take more responsibility. The mountain is not a theme park.
yeah, but some lessons need to be learnt hard way. Still glad he's safe tho.
Lol at the people saying charge him. That's not how it works. We're a community. Just be glad someone's alive.
