A Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) might be the most A Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) might be the most important piece of gear you never want to use.

Tasmania's winter conditions can change rapidly, turning a simple day walk into a much more challenging adventure. While we can't control the weather, we can prepare for it.

A PLB is designed to alert search and rescue services in a life-threatening emergency and should only be activated when there is grave and imminent danger to life.

The Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 is a popular choice for adventurers thanks to its compact size, worldwide satellite coverage, no subscription fees, waterproof design and 7-year battery life.

A few important reminders:
 ⚠️ PLBs provide one-way communication only.
 ⚠️ Keep your AMSA registration details up to date.
 ⚠️ Activated beacons require “servicing” before reuse.
 ⚠️ Never dispose of a PLB in household waste. In Tasmania, Battery World stores are commonly used for safe battery recycling and disposal.

Whether you're hiking, boating or exploring remote areas, carrying the right emergency communication device can make all the difference.
Have questions about PLBs, satellite messengers or emergency communication devices? Drop into Aspire Adventure Equipment and chat with our team—we're always happy to help.
🔗Register or update your beacon details with AMSA:

🍂 Fagus Season is here 🍂 It’s one of the most spec 🍂 Fagus Season is here 🍂
It’s one of the most special times of the year in Tasmania : Fagus season has officially begun. Each autumn, the state’s only native deciduous tree, Nothofagus gunnii, transforms our alpine landscapes into stunning shades of gold and amber.
What makes Fagus so unique? While most Australian trees remain evergreen, this rare endemic species sheds its leaves, creating a short but spectacular window to experience true autumn colour in the wild.

From Mischief to Must-Have Our cheeky possum frien From Mischief to Must-Have
Our cheeky possum friends might stir up trouble here in Australia—but they also create one of the softest, warmest natural fibres around.
While native to Australia, possums are an introduced (and invasive) species in New Zealand, where their ultra-soft fur is transformed into innovative, sustainable fibres.
Lightweight, warm, and incredibly cosy thanks to its hollow structure, possum-merino is winter comfort without the bulk.
We’re loving these beautifully crafted pieces from Noble Wild—soft, stylish, and sustainably made.
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, a beanie, scarf, or pair of socks might just be the perfect gift!

Once considered as the site of Tasmania’s third sk Once considered as the site of Tasmania’s third ski field, Mt Rufus still holds a quiet sense of adventure. In winter, cross-country skiers glide across its snowy slopes. In the warmer months, the well-maintained track leads hikers through alpine landscapes to sweeping views over Mt Hugel and the deep blue waters of Lake St Clair.
For those willing to venture further, Mt Rufus also opens the door to wilder off-track journeys, including a spectacular summit traverse around Shadow Lake and Forgotten Lake.
Much of what we know about these routes comes from Bill Wilkinson’s Abels guidebooks (Vol. 1, 3rd edition). Curious to explore more of Tasmania’s peaks? Drop into Aspire Adventure Equipment in Launceston — we stock Bill’s books ! 📖

Snakes are widespread across Tassie — from coastal Snakes are widespread across Tassie — from coastal scrub to alpine scree. If you spend time outdoors, it’s important to know how to avoid encounters and what to do if something goes wrong. 🐍

Facts: Tasmania has only three native snake species
 • Tiger snake (Notechis scutatus)
 • Lowland copperhead (Austrelaps superbus)
 • White-lipped snake (Drysdalia coronoides)

How to reduce the risk of a bite:
 • Step onto logs, not over them — snakes may be sunbathing on the other side
 • Avoid reaching into hollow logs or rock crevices
 • Stay alert, especially on warm mornings
 • Wear sturdy shoes and gaiters
 • Take extra care when moving through dense vegetation
 • Never attempt to handle or kill a snake
 • Give snakes space and move away calmly
 • Keep pets (especially cats) indoors as much as possible during the warmer months

If a bite occurs:
 • Stay calm and call 000 immediately
 • Consider downloading the Emergency+ app — it provides precise GPS coordinates, emergency numbers, CPR guidance and safety information
 • Apply a firm pressure bandage (preferably a snake bandage) and do not remove it
 • Immobilise the limb and keep the person still
 • Do not cut the bite or use a tourniquet
 • Snake identification isn’t required — all native bites are treated with the same antivenom in Tasmania

Knowledge, awareness and calm responses save lives — both theirs and ours. 🌿

Disclaimer: This video is illustrative only, not an official guide. Refer to the bandage instructions and undertake wilderness first aid training for correct safety procedures.
Chilling: Ticket to the Moon hammock 🌞🌿 Too hot to Chilling: Ticket to the Moon hammock 🌞🌿
Too hot to move? Time to relax. Find sturdy trees or bolts, protect the plants, hook up your hammock, grab a book — or just close your eyes 😎
Afternoon naps and recovery are underrated. Sometimes a little chill is all you need to recharge and enjoy the rest of your day fully.
