8 years ago - Responded to a Rescue Co-ordination NZ request to investigate an emergency locator beacon activation in the Ruahine Range, near the Dead Dog Hut. A male tramper, who was a diabetic sufferer, was found at the Hut with the use of the helicopters’ directional tracking equipment. He had accidently left his insulin behind in his motor-car and was concerned about his blood/sugar levels. After being assessed by the Order of St John Paramedic it was decided the man was well enough to be airlifted back to the car park where his medication could be accessed. The man was dropped at his car after confirming he had located his insulin and was well enough to continue.
