How the Westcott 6-in-one Saved My Life......by Don Gale
The following is an unsolicited testimonial. We'll offer stories such as these from time to time...as a keen reminder of the inherent dangers faced daily, by those brave and sometimes heroic landscape photographers......
***********************
On a recent expedition, my sherpa and I were blown off a 200 foot cliff, and into a raging, undiscovered river, which was hidden, under the cravasse in the valley below.
We splashed and bobbed in the freezing liquid for what seemed forever...wrapped only in the zippered Westcott panel case....luckily, the fabric is waterproof and rip resistant.
Thru his experience and quick thinking (along with a lunch consisting of coca leaves), Bwanashara was able to construct a makeshift raft, by duct-taping together all the components of the 40 inch Westcott 6-In-One kit, (which we each always carry). And, using the silver surface of one of the remaining panels, we signaled a private plane, which was able to land and fly us back to camp.
