Survival and Rescue Kit (SRK24) without a PLB
About 38,000 missing persons reports are received by police each year across Australia.
While most of those missing people are found within a short period of time, there are about 2,600 people who have been missing for more than three months. However, millions of people go missing worldwide each year.
Statistics show that around 8 million children and adults are reported missing annually. In 2021, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) reported 521,705 people missing, with 93,718 still missing by early 2022.
This is an alarming number, and while emergency services do their absolute best to try and locate them, sometimes it's just a little too late.
My brother and I, Guy and Terence Sadler, with our combined knowledge of emergency services, ranging from NSW Rural Fire Service (village and remote firefighting and Rescue), Fire Rescue, VRA and VRA search dogs (Volunteer Rescue Association), military search and rescue, and a section leader with Scouts NSW. There have been too many callouts where, with some simple knowledge on what to do, may have seen them home safe.
This is why we have set out to design our first bag called the Survival and Rescue Kit 24, or (SRK24) for short.
SRK24 is a bag that is designed to be packed full of life-saving equipment while maintaining a small and light profile, as little as 2.4 kilos.
THIS KIT DOES NOT CONTAIN A PLB
We have also developed basic survival cards with simple instructions and information designed to help you survive.
We are so proud of our bags that we will refurbish them - NOT including the PLB in this kit - if you have used it in an emergency situation and have been rescued by local authorities*
The bags are designed with the roughest conditions in mind. This includes extreme heat, extreme cold, deserts, rainforest and even submerged underwater. We test every item for its reliability.
* A rescue government agency needs to provide evidence of rescue. The entire bag will would need to be sent back to our warehouse please contact us for further information info@sadlers.com.au
More food flavours will be available shortly. We currently have Spaghetti Bolognese in stock.
