The Olympus Recorder Lives On
Posted: 02 Mar 2017 18:08
Lost my olympus a couple of days befgore Christmas, slipped on some ice and my pocket wasn't zipped up, was devastated to relaise my Olympus recorder was gone, next day we had 4 foot of snow. 2 months later the snow has only just melted in the last weeks and daily i've been retracing my steps to no avail. Out today furstrated at the reality it was gone for good, kicking the dirt as i decided to forget it and go home, then a little flash of sun in the dirt, under a log i see the sun reflecting on the olympus screen, 3 feet from a main trail where 10's of people walk their dogs daily. Got it home the screen was a little fogged so i stripped it and gave it some hairdryer treatment, tested with some fresh batteries and all is good she survived being under 3' of snow for 2 months, main batteries on charge recorder will be back in action tonight, from my 'walks' i see someone has a multipack of rainbow coloured condoms and seem to be using them frequently hope my luck is in for some nice recordings now the weather is improving.
Cannot recommend olympus's enough, last year it survived 1 month buried in snow in a bag, this year buried in snow with no bag for protection for 2 months the thing is indestructable! Also their sound quality is top notch.
