Her Last Peak - tragical accident of experienced Taiwan hiker (Beast Runners 跑山獸) 

Do not die. You can do without the guy’s compassion.

The pain he is experiencing is excruciating and I feel that too…I can’t help but cry at each and every video I watch….it’s really gives you a different perspective of emergency services like this because we all watch and hear about police ambulance and fire services but never mountain rescues which are so different and so much more dangerous and treacherous. I truly appreciate SAR much more now I have more knowledge of their impossible job ❤️

@@sangmoohwang9565 U ok?

You can follow a river down from a distance but never get into the river bed as that is where cliffs hide/waterfalls hide. Find a safe place to access water if possible. Rainstorms dangerous too. Amazing how water flows can rise very quickly.

😥

Wow... what an incredible story. I am so glad your father was saved and able to go home to you guys.

yes 1 slip I was walking the sunshine trail in south dakota one winter, and the ice was so so heavy even had my springs on. Well I fuckingslipped started barreling towards the bottom of this hill just digging my fingers into the slush stopping my self. My lady friend, and her bf was there. She helped me back up then we got to our climbing spot, and i was removing my boot, and it literally flew right on off dropped 200ft below back down, so she went down , and grabbed it for me. I was new to mountain hikinh at that time. I wanna work for SAR so bad!

My sister's boyfriend told me a story about his work mate that just went to check his mail outside his house, end of the drive way. That young guy slipped on the drive way and hit his head at right angle. That was it. Just a slip.

This is scary to think about. But you know....one of those guys may have been second guessing it and wondering if he was part of training. Im glad he was found.

I worked in ER for 30 years. You can climb the most dangerous mountain, fall and break a leg, yet climb a ladder to clean gutters 8 feet up and fall of and die. One never knows when it's your time. Glad your dad survived such a long fall!

Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss and for what he had to go through before his accident. It must have been devastating to all of you😥 Hugs❤️

this is so sad . 🥺 hope you find comfort everytime you remember this .

I'm sorry for your loss and the tragedies that preceded it. May angels of comfort always be with you: and signs your Dad is with you in the best ways until you'll meet again. (I had a near death experience at 19 and was greeted by our great-grandfather: it's left me certain about an afterlife.) Paz y luz.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. 😔🙏 And also very grateful for this wonderful caring guy who was able to help locate n bring her home to loved one's. 💙

I cried too.

I'm so sorry

May the Earth Mother watch over her. I'm so sorry for your loss.

terrible first date, rip

@@dmitrijsmironovs7513 right lol...I wouldn't date for awhile after that.

Gravity always lets you down.

I think can also smell them from far away, sadly

@@deeb.9250 I was going to say the same

@@deeb.9250 smell and there's a certain ....energy that some folks can pick up on.

@@CRneu energy? No, pretty sure thats just the their subconcious mind picking up on smell hints.

even if it is just heightened senses that the mind is able to pick up on, it’s still phenomenal. most people do not have this ability. i suppose it’s a gift and a curse. what him and others like him do is very brave and selfless

That last line is beautiful- there is only gratitude in my heart. What a beautiful thing to say and think. Yes the scenery is amazing.

Sometimes our gut know what’s best.

@@TruFire710 it was more of my moms Voice yelling at me to not be stupid lol. All those years of nagging paid off

I had a similar experience up Mt Fuji. We made it to a resting lodge and woke up at 2 am to hit the summit. Stepping outside there was cloud coverage and it was raining. The hikers in front of me took off and I started walking behind them, when I suddenly realized I couldnt see 5 feet in front of me. I turned around and saw the light bulb of the lodge like a beacon beckoning me to return. At that precise moment I turned around and headed back. Turned out a huge storm hit the mountain and we had to descend the next morning on the opposite side of Fuji down slippery black ash, no trail...scary stuff.

That's why you always check the weather forecasts before setting out.

Kabayan...

👋🏽

these places in Taiwan looks very much like Cordillera mountains in Luzon, but much less hiker deaths. But Cordillera also has lots of road accidents and landslides during rainy season

Same here 🤗

@@deeb.9250 There was one incident where a biker got lost on a trail in Itogon, Benguet. Accdg to the biker, he could see the rescue team but they couldn't hear nor see him. Only then when they butchered an animal to appease some spirit was when they were able to find him.

Dive talk?! :)

I am a hiker / climber ill go here, but only if I have brand new hiking shoes with vibram rubber from rock climber aggressive shoes, and if I had my GPS SAR locator, and insurance to go. A few other things im down, but as we can see mother nature is no place to fuck around. It can be beautiful but if you ever had to run for your life out a forest you will never ever forget it.

@@CamillaDrakenborg Mr. Ballen and then Dive Talk. 😆

@@amalilconfused lol otherway around for me. Good stuff to watch! Learned alot, like not to go cave diving ;)

@@ProDMiner don't go alone!

ah shit... i didnt expect that my guy, sorry for the loss. Did you find out what happened?

My condolences to your family...sorry for your loss.

That's so heartbreaking, my condolences 😭

@@dmitrijsmironovs7513 He was found 12 hours later by hunters, he fell over dead, instantly,they said.... heart. Prior, he had never had any kind of health issues. It was a shock and very hard, my folks never really got over the loss of their baby. LIfe is not easy for most people, at times.

@@lolamaude3449 im sorry for your loss, im sure he was happy in his final moments tho. It is not very often a man goes out of this world while enjoying his passion. Im glad he was happy, and it was not long or painful. life loves to be terrible, and take those we love away from us before we are ready. All we can do is live on in their memory, so that in that way life may never have its victory, and it may never remove the mark they made on us all.

Why did the lord not guide back the dead hikers?

@@Xtoffer87 🤷‍♀️ I don't questions his reasons, but I'm sure he has a good one. Maybe it was time for him to meet his maker. Why would someone that has never hiked to the extremes wasn't well prepared with clothes, shoes, maps, food or little to no experience and not tell anyone or share his plans 🤷‍♀️, why would you think all would be good. Sometimes we make mistakes that get us in trouble... we are humans with free will and this young man exercised his and unfortunately it cost him his life. We can't blame GOD for everything bad that happens to us, had he been prepared with everything needed for survival and had the experience needed, he would have made it back home, even if he had gotten lost, he would have been prepared to still find his way home or to have been found alive. God will only do so much for us, it is up to us to make the right decisions. Not lecturing at all so please don't take it personal.

@@Xtoffer87 we do not know if they were even believers. But that question seems asked so many times and unsure an answer exists. I was told when asked as a child. We were given free will. Also, scripture reads, will always be with us. Not that it would be easy. imagine how bad could be if not. A question hope you find the answer and share. The family has closure. This video let us see good and kindness still exist thru the act of the search too.. That nature is beautiful and a glimpse of its beauty for the many that can not hike. A lesson of ALWAYS.be prepared and do not hike alone, few of the lessons taught thru this. Personally for me, to live everyday as it may be your last

I think it comes down to his diligent research beforehand, and using old school tracking skills. Basically hunting down humans the way you would an animal, but with the added bonus of cell records and possible trails and the reasoning capability of humans making them more predictable, etc.

@@GlorifiedGremlin after a while you also develop some kind of intuition I believe , as you do with everything you really put your hardest effort and heart in to doing. This man’s efforts and huge hearts for the people who are lost, give me chills. So much respect for him❤️

@@GlorifiedGremlin which is why it's so important to route your trips before hand, and share that information with someone trusted

@@BananaMonstaaaa Yeah I always send a pin with my exact camp location to my family whenever I go out, just incase. I'm also a very paranoid person tho lol

He doesn't make videos about the ones where he doesn't find anything.

díky

I almost tried that trail when I was about 30 years ago with little information about it. Just was taking a group of friends on a hiking trip and it sounded good. We had basically no experience in wet or less than perfect conditions. Sounds challenging from your account. Luckily we chose a trail up some mountain to a place called Forbidden Plateau more in the interior of the island. No issues. Didn’t even think about bears.

👍👍👍

A decade ago, I went on a short hiking trail with a group of 8 people, we still got lost. Luckily, we back tracked and found another group of hikers helped us found our way back.

@@michellengo3352 So? I didn't mean that a lot of people don't get lost. They're just less likely die while getting lost because 2 friends trying to save each other is the stupid thing to do. They will most likely end up doing something that makes both of them to be badly injured or death instead just one.
