Stories

Short, real moments from people heading out with WildPing — for safety, and sometimes just for fun.

Got a WildPing story? A trip where the link took the guesswork out of it, a plan that changed on the day, a time it mattered — we'd love to hear it. We'll check with you before anything goes up.

Practice for Challenge Wānaka — the full kayak course

Heading off for the kayak, the discussion of safety plans came up. My mate was trying to guess a time we'd be safely off the river for his wife — then we realised a few swims and a nasty headwind would drastically alter our ETA. So I pulled out my WildPing and shared the tracking link. No more guessing.

For the friends who couldn't make it

Not everyone could get away for the Mt Potts tour, so before we headed up I sent the crew back home my WildPing link. They followed along from home — and knew we were back at the hut having a beer before we'd even told them. WildPing's built for safety, but this time it was just a way of bringing everyone along for the ride.
