    Hello everyone, in today's video we will be discussing the disappearance of Robert Budinski (69) who disappeared sometime between April 15 - June 30, 2024 hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.
    Robert was beyond experienced in virtually every outdoor activity. Before he got into thru hiking, he did mountaineering all over the world, as well as mountain biking.
    Robert had already successfully completed the Pacific Crest Trail several times.
    It was shocking to everyone that knew him to hear he was missing.
    He was officially reported missing on June 30, 2024.
    My thoughts and prayers go out to Robert Budinski, his family and all his loved ones🙏🙏
    In this video I will also be discussing various other disappearances that occurred on the Pacific Crest Trail.. many in this same area.

    One obvious question is: Why didn't Robert, a veteran climber and hiker, have a SatCom device with him?!
    Thanks for your advice to everyone, hikers or just those who go for walks in rough country, to _never_ go down a part of the area that you can't get back up from. I can recall five times when people have gotten trapped because they couldn't climb back out. Most were rescued, but two died. Sadly, I'm pretty sure there are many such stories.

      Doesn't matter if you're alone or not, many people have gone missing that were with other people, even from groups.

    Thank you for covering Robert's story. My heart goes out to his family and they have my deepest condolences. I pray that they will find peace and comfort, and may Robert rest in peace 🙏🕊️ I hope you are well. I'm currently in Arizona on vacation for a few days then headed back home. Have a great week!

    Hi! Hope you and your dad are well
    Wow another person missing near, around Idywild .. yikes deceased
    It will soon be the anniversary of Kris Fowler!’s disappearance… Oct 20 ( I thought the book said this date, will recheck) recently read Trail of the Lost by Andrea Lankford
    I think it’s a worthwhile book, got it on audio from my public library
    Daniel O Sullivan, John Donovan was lost they think in that same area- San Jacinto- Idywild …
    It’s so good that you pointed out going down in a canyon, ravine and not being able to climb out. This first time I’ve heard of this it was years ago when people suggested that maybe it went down into a box canyon and could not get out. I had no concept of this as I play it safe and keep it simple when I go for walks, I don’t go into the backcountry nor do I venture off period

    I lived and recreated in the San Jacinto Mountains for 3 decades. That terrain is no joke.

    How heartbreaking this must be for his family and friends...
    A stark reminder that anything can happen to anyone, anything can go wrong, regardless of the level of expertise a person has.

    Even experienced adventurers find themselves in bad situations, but going it alone, is their first mistake.

  • @user-uo1qr6vn1q

    Everyone who does serious hikes, particularly the PCT, CDT or AT should have a Garmin or some other GPS emergency locator device. I know they can be expensive, as are their subscriptions. But the truth is the alternative is having your remains found at the bottom of a ravine. And costing the county, state & taxpayers serious $ looking for you. You’re not too good, or too old, or too experienced for it, no one is. Hikers literally don’t have to go missing now folks. Technology is currently at a place where, like it or not, going missing while on trail is now essentially a choice. Get the beacon & stay safe!✌️
    (I know you stressed the importance of getting one at the very end of the video Bryan, just wanted to piggyback off of your comments).

      Pretty selfish way to die if you ask me. So many people risking their lives to locate these missing people who chose to do it.🙄😬

    Do you know of any disappearances on the west coast trail in bc?

  • @thesecretshade

    It would be great if you show on a map where people (you mentioned several during this clip) were last seen just as a recap because I can't remember. The PCT is so long.
    Same with if remains are found. I always wish I could see on a map where the remains were found and where they searched and how the person's planned route was. As a former rescue worker with a dog this is very interesting to me.

  • @mtnshelby7059
    @mtnshelby7059 2 години тому

    69 and hiking PCT alone. 😢 I have been hiking alone for decades but only alone in regional hiking areas. Risks are significantly reduced and the benefits aren't IMO.

    It seems to me that these people who go missing, a lot of resources is spent searching for them. It would probably be cheaper in the long run to issue every hiker with their permit GPS tracking device instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars searching for them. It's such cheap technology and readily available now that it seems foolish to not carry one.

    Last seen on April 15. Reported missing on June 30. Commonly went weeks without contacting anyone. Probably hiked at least 20 miles each day. So he could have been anywhere. Starting an SAR mission was a ridiculous waste of time, energy and money. RIP
