Check your Garmin carabiner attachment bolt

[topgun2]

I just read Mountainoliver's thread "Check your leveling jack feet" and was reminded about the story a friend of mine told me last week.

He lives in Colorado and was cross country skiing to a high altitude lake to ice fish when he noticed that his Garmin Mini was missing.  Even though he skied back the same way he didn't find his Garmin and considered it lost.  About a week later he received a call from a fellow that found it and he got it back.

The reason he lost it was that the screw/bolt that goes into the rear of the Garmin and attaches a carabiner strap to it had backed out.  Upon learning this I checked mine and found that while not tight it was a bit loose.

Out comes the blue Loctite and now all is nice and snug.

If you have one of these devices - now just might be a good time to check that screw/bolt.
