  • Here's an oddball from the vault everyone. It's a special little video we put together for training use by my good friends at Arges SAR in Romania after we had shot an episode of Survivorman there. If you're not interested in search and rescue then pass this one by. Otherwise enjoy!

    "A map and compass can save your life" hallelujah ! Cannot say this enough ! The times I've been out on the hills, on what starts a nice day and then end up in 10m visablity in the peaks. Walking on a compass bearing and counting steps.

    Happy news from NS, they deserve some good news. A few days ago a 3 year old girl went missing. She was found unharmed, cold and wet though, by Cst Berube and his dog Jynk. He said the girl said 'doggie' when they found her. Jynk looks like a german shepard. Good work everyone! edit-she was found in thick woods.

    This is so crazy, I personally can attest to how easy it is to get lost in the transylvanian alps.
    About three years ago, I was taking a road trip through the Bucegi mountains. I followed a small steep road up to a ski lift that took you to the top of the mountains. I didn't have any money on me at the time, but I managed to blend in with a small group of guys who had already paid. Took the ski lift up, and I end up wandering around the tops of the mountains for a while.
    Eventually, I wander off the path a bit (big mistake) and a bit of a fog ends up rolling in. No biggie, I think to myself, its still like 3pm. Well, it was a problem. The mountain tops there are all so steep and similar that I could not find the ski lift for the life of me. I spend about 5 hours wandering around, looking for this little ski lift. Starts getting dark, and I'm like, fuck it, let's just sleep up here. I find a tiny little wooden shack thing and have the worst night I ever had. Thankfully, it was mid June, so it was not below freezing but it was still very very cold because of the altitude. Next morning it's a perfectly clear day and the ski lift literally ends up being 5 minutes round the corner from me. Most stupid thing I ever did.

    Seeing the dogs reminded me of a tale an old comrade of mine, who's a winch man on rescue choppers, told me. They were once carrying a mountain rescue team to a search, the door of the Dauphin was open and the search team and the crew were chatting, when one of them made a gesture with his arm towards the door, said gesture just happened to be the 'GO signal' for the search dog, yes, out the door went the poor dog.

    Wow, their SAR is that high caliber and it's entirely FREE? I definitely wasn't expecting that. Romania isn't a particularly rich country and yet you get other rich European countries that will send foreign tourists or "It wasn't a legitimate enough rescue" situations a gigantic bill for it.

    My first and,only S.A.R. happened to be a Dumb Ass friend of mine,we searched for 2 days in the base of the Grand Tetons...he found an old cabin in the woods and,he was kicked back drinking the beer of the Cabins owner...believe it or Not the owner was okay with it...LoL..btw it had been 20 degrees below zero the night this idiot got lost..

    • @deanyaschempp
      @deanyaschempp 4 роки тому +2

      It is so easy to wander off trail, or get on the wrong trail. I don't doubt your opinion that the friend was a dumb ass or idiot, just that getting lost in the woods doesn't make him one. Careless, ill prepared, short-sighted, and probably not respectful of the world around him, right LOL I knew 2 college girls who went on a day hike in the mountains in shorts and t-shirts, got caught in a storm, missed the trail crossing, got onto a harder trail by mistake, and had to be rescued out with hypothermia the second day. People just don't respect nature.

      Les did a brief announcement on a recent UA-cam. He was going out on a SAR in Oregon. (I believe he lives in Grant's Pass, OR now). Looking at this video - I made it okay, but I did lots of stupid things as a teen. Hiking or canoeing alone with nobody knowinq where I was. Far from home. No plan. No phones or GPS of course back then. Had a few scares - but lots of great memories. My first trip by myself I was 15 in the Tetons. I look back and wonder what my parents were thinking letting me do that!? I guess they were just as trusting and as naive (and stupid?) as I was. (Only one brief scare on that trip.)

    • @DisgruntledDisabledCombat_Vet
      @DisgruntledDisabledCombat_Vet 4 роки тому

      In the episode he used a signal mirror to flash the chopper many times but they all failed. He took his own survival kit and created a scenario where he had zero food and he actually went the wrong way and spent hours burning his energy climbing up. Anyway, he came up with the what to do with a broken leg, with no food and just by luck he got reception that sent all his text messages on the day they found him. I think he did make a fire for the night because it was freezing but he had a broken leg and played the role of trying to get firewood and it was just too much. He had to wiggle down hill then climb back up with his arms keeping his leg steady. Realistically, broken leg you’ll make a fire for the night and try not to freeze to death and already fully exhausted with no food and got a signal mirror that was used on the first day of the search. Then like I said earlier he played out the scenario as if he couldn’t make a fire large enough to signal the chopper and number 2 is his messages went thru to the team so he waited and marked the path to him using his orange bandana and human signs so they would know where he’s at.
