I dont understand comments like this, they come off as rude. Of course he knows he is lucky. He got rescued. There is actually no need for these comments.
@@zeldafitzgerald4149 and I don't see why you had to reply on my comment if you don't like it. I am being rude, if you go hiking on a foggy day, or think there is even the slightest possibility of there being fog obstructing your way back home, be prepared. Make your starting place, carry a compus, let loved ones know where you are and what trail you're using, or at the very least carry bear spray and hope you can remember which way the sun sets. I think people tend to forget we aren't on the top of the food chain, even though we like to think we are. He got lucky people are wanting to sit down and have a tab open on a wild game camera pointed out in the middle of nowhere. Who knows what could have happened to him if those 19 people weren't watching.
gee, you think? he was probably 90% sure that he was going to die out there in unforgiving Alaska, but he knew he had to keep going if he was going to make the most of that other 10%
I’m impressed that of the 19 people, more than one cared enough to recognize he was asking for help and had the motivation to get him help. Edit: apparently, the viewers were able to chat with each other, so it wasn’t just 19 people watching a video at the same time. They were able to coordinate and contact the authorities to rescue him.
>I’m impressed that of the 19 people, more than one cared enough Yeah and you're not one of them and will never be because all you do is gaslight in the comments section.
Personally I don't think anybody should spend a single dollar for rescuing these idiots. They enjoy to be alone in the middle of nowhere without any food and equipment? Just leave them alone then and let them learn an important lesson...
This is so amazing! I’ve watched those video feeds a few times and this may be the greatest thing ever seen, someone desperately needing help and being rescued.
That's why idk how people do it man I could never I went camping once at Yosemite with my whole family and even though I was with them I felt like something could of happened
@@estherellis6032 Well, either you don't know how to use the word, which is ignorant but forgivable, or you just WANT to use it incorrectly, which is just plain warped. Being lost is what was "necessitating" his rescue. The camera and its viewers were FACILITATING his rescue.
That’s great and all…I just wonder why they didn’t use the segment of video feed with him actually mouthing the words “Help me.” Seems like a no-brainer but I guess they didn’t want to give us the satisfaction of seeing that but…despite it being the sole focus of the video…? 🙄 Anyway, still an awesome story and I’m sure dude wakes up every morning a bit more thankful to be alive than he was before!
Many people watch these cameras for researching purposes. They have systems in place that record everything automatically, without the person being present. That counts as a live watch. Other than that, if it was not for those 19 people "watching fog," he might have been lost forever. Imagine being you in that situation. But that is not going to happen to those watching hundreds of hours a month irrelevant TV shows and sports games.
there’s literally hundreds of similar livecams like this that are on 24/7 including dozens in national parks and nature preserves…people tune in at any time to see if there’s any action, this isn’t that out of the ordinary at all
FYI there may have been 17 people watching that particular cam but there are usually hundreds watching the 9 other cams, some viewers are in Australia or Europe.
All those cameras should have a sign saying stay in front of camera and wait for help if you’re in trouble The only problem is this camera is in a place with a lot of bears!!!
I'm surprised these haven't been intentionally placed throughout the park and surrounding areas for such a reason. This does happen to unfortunate people or people who are more confident than prepared. A camera station every few miles marked by GPS would greatly increase chances of survival and give the person in distress a confidence boost. Also a small supply box could be added with emergency thermal blanket, sleeping bags, magnesium fire starter and potentially canned food sealed in vacuumed bags by someone with uncontaminated hands so bears won't smell it, but if bears are around possibly add bear spray however it could be a useful system to help rescuers minimize cost and guesswork therefore saving resources but most of all saving a life
@mynameisgladiator1933 great, just know like a Breitling if help is summoned and it's a prank then the prankster when caught will be liable for the rescue mission, time + materials. They better hope no Jhawk helis are involved
You get stories like this when they cherry pic em off the AP feed. No skill line copying at its best. Leagalized plagerism just never does the original story justice.
@dropkickirish4449 - So, you consider a *_37-second_*_ video report,_ that doesn't even show him *mouthing "Help me"* and *"Lost"* (integral to his rescue) to be an *_"in-depth, informative_*_ news story?"_ Hardly! It was *succinct,* if only the *bare* _(bear?)_ *facts.*
Glad the hiker happened upon the camera and expressed that he needed help and that that sparse crowd watching alerted the right people to help this hiker! Job well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Samsung has had that feature for years. But it only works on either device if you have a network connection and a charged phone. It doesn't do much when you don't have service.
@@ThatGirlJD SOS Emergency actually won't work if you have a network connection because it's only for emergencies in which you don't. If you have a network connection, you also have a phone connection, so you can call 911 instead. Also, I just looked it up and Samsung does not have sattelite antennaes in their phone, you are mistaken.
