Strategic Movements Coordinated
In the upcoming summer season, hunters in New Zealand will find planning their off-track expeditions more efficient and safer, thanks to the new features on MSC's Plan My Walk trip planning tool.
The new features, Custom Tracks and My Gear Lists, are designed to support various types of hunts, whether you're accessing the bush through a tramping track or simply crossing over a mate's fence into public land.
With Custom Tracks, hunters can create their own custom off-track hunt in New Zealand. This feature allows you to drop pins on a map, creating an off-track hunt, and group multiple existing tracks and off-track routes. The custom track builder offers benefits such as track alerts, weather warnings, and forecasts, ensuring you're well-prepared for any conditions.
My Gear Lists help ensure nothing is forgotten when packing for a hunting trip. You can create and save specific gear lists for different types of hunting trips, including essential items such as a rain jacket, head torch, first aid kit, emergency shelter, and extra warm layers. Ticked off items on the gear list will be sent to the emergency contact with the trip plan, providing peace of mind for those left behind.
Planning ahead is crucial for bush communication, especially in case of delays or changes. In larger groups, everyone should understand their roles and communication plans. Sticking together and hunting as a team is the best course of action. On the day of the hunt, it's important to maintain group coordination and awareness.
The Plan My Walk trip planning tool is easy to use. To start planning your summer hunt, simply download the Plan My Walk app or visit planmywalk.nz.
