Get Brotallion to make some hats, I want one, I am tempted to order a shirt, but I would rock the hat all the time. I was trying to get you guys on camera when the bird was off Keller in Murrieta/Menifee up in the hills. I am off of Haun but was too far away and it looks like you guys went straight to LLUMC after.
Thank you 🙏. We appreciate watching. We do this to show our community what we can do for them. We are expensive and hopefully this justifies our operations.
@@Hook-in-handWhat other solutions would people go with? Send rescuers out on horseback? Or maybe riding on mountain goats for mountain climber rescues? 😂
I have so much respect and honor for what you guys do! It's obviously nothing compared to the real thing but I fly the H145 by HPG in Microsoft Flight Sim as my main airframe and learned to fly in sim in helicopters many years ago, even decking out the hardware controls to get as close to reality as possible. I got hooked on them during my tour in OiF 1&2 with the 1st Cav having been in the UH-60 and CH47 during various ops. The HPG has an action pack for the H145 to simulate HEMS missions and seeing it first hand by your team is incredible. The impact you have is endless, thank you for what you do and for sharing it for us to see!
How does one go about pursuing a search and rescue career? I know I want it more than anything, and more importantly I know I can achieve it. I just don’t know where to start. I’m 20, working for the boilermakers, so I’m no stranger to hard work and dangerous environments. All I want is to work outside with the thrill of working at heights, and seeing videos like these affirm my ambition to strive for the position. Any advice?
Honestly who knows how he was injured, they appear to be taking appropriate precautions in their climbing. They are trad climbing so rock could have broken or a protection slipped or really anything. It's an inherently dangerous sport, and they are wearing helmets, using ropes, and they have protection pieces. So long as they weren't doing anything super out of the ordinary and negligent (i.e., climbing with no rope), it would probably be a free rescue. Usually they are free to incentivize people calling for them when they actually need them instead of dying in the woods. Sure there are contexts in which you would get charged, but hopefully you'd have the foresight to get SAR insurance before doing something like that...
@@Hook-in-hand My father did air rescue in Vietnam in the HH43 Huskie "Pedro". I'm going to send your channel along to him. Thanks and stay safe brothers.
these rescuers are insanely incredible. despite the sheer pressure of danger yet they are still composed delivering such life threatening mission. respect 🇵🇭
Not sure what they were trying to prove. Thought maybe they were taking pics of wildlife but I did not see a camera. Seems like a risky journey to get a few cell phone pictures. How far away was their car?
Amazing, great job to all. It’s truly humbling to see the risks strangers take to help/save others, this is especially true when people are doing “hobbies” like mountain climbing, skiing, diving, etc. Our first responders are magnificent people. Thank you.
Aircraft appears to be either an H145/H135, or EC135/45. These aircraft have SCAS, or something alike, and autopilot, meaning the pilot could initiate an auto hover mode over a specific point. I'm not undermining the abilities of this pilot, but be aware of this.
Hi thank you. I was the pilot on this one and I absolutely utilize the hover stabilization assist. It is not rock steady, you still have to correct and fly the aircraft though.
It's a very GOOD thing that he called for HELP. Dehydration is nothing to ignore at all. (+ We all need to trust in Jesus as our Savior for the remission of our sins, we never know when our time in this world is over. Jesus is the only way to the Father. <3 Details are found ONLY in God's word the 66 books of the Holy Bible. <3 )
Am very glad they called for help. Thanks be to our merciful almighty triune God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ our Savior, and the Holy Spirit that they're alright, and thanks be to God for making these rescuers to be strong enough and smart enough to learn and train to do things like this. <3 :)
The opinion of the rescue member does not mean she did not know how to get down. She may never have set up a rappel let alone multiple rappels. But given how she handled the gear she looked like she knew what she was doing. Still maybe not. Let's not bash them for being there. I can tell you this her self rescue would have been an epic. They looked to be about two or three pitches up. This would mean four to six or seven separate rappels. She would have to set anchors where she was. Rappel half the distance of the rope. (It gets double over so it can be pulled down for the next rappel). She would have to set anchors each time, clip herself in, secure one end of the rope so that it couldn't fall down the cliff, disconnect her rappel device from the rope, pull the rope down, run the rope through the rappel ring in this case likely two carabiners (gates opposed), even the ends and tie a new knot at the ends (so she couldn't rappel off the end of the rope). There are a dozen ways to buy the farm in rappelling. On an October afternoon. It could easily be dark before she would be done rappelling. That would add to the danger. Once at the base of the cliff she would have more than a thousand feet of steep descent on a sandy gully with tree routes or a section of scree at 80 degrees steep or a boulder strewn section at the same steepness. She would not be at the car until well after dark. If she made it. Also many inexperienced climbers go out with a guide. Perhaps that was the scenario here, although by her comfort getting set for the hoist I don't think so. The point is there is no reason to bash these climbers.
@@cre8tvedge looks like she had 2 anchors in before being clipped into rescue harness, and handled her equipment well, etc. She admitted to the rescue team audibly that she didn’t know how to descend without her partner. This did two things- immediately changed the tone of rescue to 2 individuals, thereby doubling the risk factors across the board (time in hover, weight shifting, etc). It also shows the rest of us she didn’t have a plan in case of injury or incapacitation. This, to me, shows ignorance of the terrain on an increasingly difficult ascent.
