Awesome!! Thank you so much for uploading without music. These type of vids are very interesting. Would also be cool in the future if perhaps you did like a tour vid showing all the equipment and gear you guys carry in the helicopter. Also super neat to hear the Pilot mention the GTC.H by name
Appreciate the skill it takes to locate targets in this landscape incredible …I love watching the dynamic’s and coordination of this job. Communication being key . ❤great job
I am assuming there is a certain age at which one can safely say they are not able to pursue this career anymore? I am 32 and man I wish I had looked into this line of work earlier. Its so impressive to watch, absolutely love the content. I'd love to work as a rescue pilot on one of these one day...
There is still time! I didn't get into law enforcement until 28 and it was because I wanted to eventually be a pilot for my department. Dream job achieved, check!
In this particular helicopter, balance and weight distribution of not as much of a factor as in other helicopters. Much of that has to do with the unique design of its main rotor system. This helicopter really handles the wind changes well.
Is any of the crew certified paramedics? Does the crew have the ability to start an IV if one is needed? If not paramedic trained, would you if need be take some along some paramedics with you? It's a comfort knowing there are men & women out there who are willing to do this kind of work. With aĺl due respect, I hope I never have the occasion to call you. Thank you, ladies & and gentlemen
Hi thanks! In this rescue, we had some pretty good sun in our faces as we faced west, which the winds favored that direction. Where the victims were was in the shade in the trees below a clear visor helps see through the shadows better. Plus, our helicopter has a very soft, Lexan-type windshield and it was scratched recently when the windshield wipers were activated on a dry/semi-dry windscreen which caused these little scratches that when sunlight hits them, it magnifies and disburses the light in that area making it difficult to see through it, especially when the visor is tinted.
Who noticed the black bear at 9:05? You can see the bear over looking the creek on the edge of the bank and then it turns to the left before the camera switches scenes.
How about the choices....fall down or be hoisted up to safety & life. If I was running any of the "clif type" rescues...I would tell them to instantly shed all that snarley, encumbering climbing krap. When I used to work high...we only took what we needed to do the job! Does anyone think that if you got "hung up" working up there & the fire dept. came to rescue you that it would be OK to bring all your tools in the rescue basket..HA !!
I’m in awe of the skills of the crew, they’re absolutely incredible! I’m also definitely enjoying these longer format videos!!
I like that you incorporated all the audio. Thank you!!!
Thank you!
My new favorite channel. Watching all the way from Ethiopia ET

@@Hook-in-hand Thats really reassuring to hear :) Thank you for your response, it means a lot! 🙌
Question re helicopters do you have to balance the load passengers I’m thinking you do but don’t know especially when the winds are increased?

Excellent work guys. Any reason not to use the tinted visor?

@@Hook-in-hand ahh ok thanks man. Stay safe and keep the videos coming
You guys have red and blues on that tractor for the tug, does it have a steady burn red? 🤣
Weekend warriors overdoing it. HAHAHA Great Job Guys
Great video!
Does anyone know, what kind of pants the guy is wearing at 0:30?
This would be my dream job if i could handle the stress
Surely you guys use thermals for spotting?!
Who noticed the black bear at 9:05? You can see the bear over looking the creek on the edge of the bank and then it turns to the left before the camera switches scenes.
are rescue team part of army , police or different division
No we are the county sheriff’s department, law enforcement is separate.
@Hook-in-hand please tell Mr. Mike Calhoun hello from Jeff Palomo. Great to see how far he has come since joining RCSD. Great channel by the way!
