Missing multi-millionaire found dead in Taiwan mountains, what went wrong? (Reward 1,000,000 NT$) 

Trying to find a missing person in these terrain are just so incredibly difficult, especially in horrible weather. You guys put yourselves in danger and do such fantastic jobs, bringing peace to the families of lost ones.

In Malaysia in 2016 I was travelling by myself for the first time in my life. I was up in the Cameron Highlands and a "guide" offered to show me some hiking tracks. I felt it could be dangerous as he seemed a little scammy but I was young and naive and looking for a bit of risk anyway. The guide took me down what looked less and less like tracks until we were just walking through steep downhill bush. He kept assuring me he knew where he was going until finally after over an hour walking off any track he admitted he had no idea where we were. The adrenaline when I realised our situation was wild. After the panic settled a little, I recalled that Google maps had asked me for the first time if I wanted to keep the last 200mb of downloaded maps for offline use only one day before this trek. An incredible stroke of luck. I eventually figured out the right direction (by zooming in on my GPS location, walking, and seeing which direction the dot moved), and eventually found a track back to town. We emerged from the forest just as the sun was setting, in to one of the poorest villages I have ever been in. It was surreal. A 2 hour walk turned in to a 9 hour exhausting ordeal. Could barely walk after. I am almost certain that we would have died if I had not had those offline maps. Neither of us had told anyone where we were going or what we were doing. We had both completely lost our bearings on the direction toward town and would have gone the opposite way in to an endless jungle, and the "guide" was old and far from fit. There was about half an hour there where I truly didn't know what to do, and the thought of spending the night in the jungle was terrifying.

I remember so vividly being that person in the blue raincoat watching my beautiful Dad being so carefully brought back to me. 21 years ago, 14th November 2001. 😔 Thank you for what you do. Thank you to all SAR personnel for your efforts in helping family's bring home their loved one. The peace & appreciation it brings is only outshone by our grief. 😔🙏💙🐨

Not sure why youtube pushed me your channel. But I’ve watched a few of your videos now. What an amazing guy ! What a fantastic job you do… The families of the deceased and survivors are so lucky to have someone like you. What a special human being…. Helping to find and bring closure to so many people…. I hope you get the right support too… must be really hard dealing with it yourself….. mentally draining and physically exhausting…. Well done sir ❤️👊🇬🇧

辛苦了，感覺你走的很多地方都超級危險，請注意安全，希望不要再發生，祈禱大家能平安回家

The Taiwanese mountains are so beautiful. The streams and rivers are full of crystal clear water. I can see why people love to go hiking, but your videos show why safety is so important.

感謝跑山獸無私的付出與登山安全指引！一生平安！

I have never seen your videos before. The content is unlike anything I've seen before. These families are lucky to have you. I actually never knew Taiwan had such treacherous mountains. Watching what you go through in your searches, these mountains are dangerous for even seasoned climbers. How can they not be deadly for city skickers. Lack of knowledge, lack of preparation, and panic are a recipe for disaster. These mountain streams and gorges, as beautiful as they are,are death traps for the ill-informed. Their beauty is addictive, but beneath it lurks dangers that untrained eyes cannot see. God bless you for the work that you do. No amount of money can pay you enough. I can't imagine the mental toll this takes on you. It takes a strong person physically and mentally to do what you do. I love the mountains and I love hiking in them, but those mountains there would be quite challenging for the average hiker. Stay safe my friend and Thank you again for the work that you do!

謝謝 跑山獸，讓身為台灣人的我看到不一樣的台灣景色，也讓我看到了山難的恐怖，感謝你們日復一日從事那麼危險的搜救任務搜尋這些在山上迷失的人們，台灣有你們實在太好了，你們真的很棒，辛苦了！❤台灣有你們真好❤

看影片時 我全身雞皮疙瘩 並且忍不住流淚 感謝跑山獸及所有搜救人員 大家都要記得這段悲傷的故事 時時警惕自己 危險無處不在

台灣登山最大的安全隱患是天氣, 因為下雨路真的很滑, 台灣亞熱帶緯度植被的山道跟樹林裡濕滑的路道穿什麼登山鞋都沒用, 雨中踩岩石踩樹幹踩草地跟冬天走在冰塊上一樣溜滑除非是穿冰爪, 這是自已這十幾年爬國內外的山的經驗, 小總結所有影片的憾事都有個共通點就是失足高處跌落,再加上沒有同伴呼救, 重點是為什麼失足, 就是因為路滑, 很多評論都說是因為獨自上山, 我想可能還是沒有把最key的重點講出來, 失足因為路滑, j為什麼下雨時或路滑時要繼續的走動? 從不在天氣不好的時候爬山, 山上遇到天氣不好的時候不要動, 冷靜地待在帳篷或臨時避難處, 我很驚訝地看到這麼多山友輕忽了天氣, 即便雨中結伴爬山傷筋斷骨的事也是常常發生, 事前看天氣預報很重要, 天氣不好絕對不要上山,鐵律勞記在心, 就算事先規劃許久的行程, 臨時取消行程的事要常常習慣它,不要覺得可惜因為已經花了很多時間金錢跟精力規劃, (所以呢 不能重來?)如果你是愛爬山的山友這輩子從不曾臨時取消行程或是半路回頭 U turn, 可能要好好思考一下過去都是幸運而已, 不要跟壞天氣硬碰硬, 這跟在下雪的國家爬山一樣, 從沒有人在下大雪時上山或移動的, 你不知道你腳踩下去的表面看似平滑的雪底下是什麼, 即便多少人結伴都一樣, 爬山是休閒娛樂不是打仗, 不要聯想為什麼部隊裡可以雨中強行軍, 多多聯想為什麼許多人是被抬下山的, 我祝願大家快樂的享受爬山, 祝願大家每次爬山最後都是都平安地回到家

這是一部製作非常優良的紀錄片，影片剪接與音樂配得非常好! 我的心情隨著跑山獸穿梭在山林裡起落，最後發現罹難者時我再也忍不住掉下了眼淚。現實是很殘酷的，在沒有做好充分準備前，千萬別踏上自己不熟悉的山路。

Your videos are quite haunting. The beauty of the land is incredible but it is also dangerous in equal measure. I can see how even someone prepared and with the right equipment could have an accident on some of those trails. Thank you for what you do. Both in search and rescue and in teaching people about the dangers and how to be safe.

I have never seen any of your videos before and they poped up on my suggestion feed. One video i saw took my breathe away and the amount of effort you put into finding the missing person as though its someone who you lost as well. Your work amazes me. This is only the second video that I've seen and i will continue to follow you because you give amazing insight. Tips for any hiker. Keep doing this amazing work, it takes extreme good mental and physical strength to do what you do. I agree with one of the comments on here that no amount of money is enough to do what you do.. Your amazing, keep up the amazing work. ❤

Number 1 rule I was taught when hiking or mountain climbing, expecially in remote back country areas: never go alone, for safety reasons. Always let someone know your traveling route and when to expect you back.

厲害的剪輯，強大的邏輯思考，超猛的體力，更重要的是你有善良的心

這群人是真正的勇士。感謝了

對大自然真的要心存敬畏 別過度自信 看你們的影片 很多路段真是很艱難 原始 路徑也不明顯 片子拍得很棒.配樂也很棒.謝謝你們為台灣人做的一切

跑山獸你自己也要注意安全！因為你為了救援搶時間，增加很多危險在自己身上，謝謝你無私的付出！給你100個讚！

Your energy, spirit, and physical condition is incredible! Seemingly you are never tired. Your knowledge about the mountains and the experience moving around in difficult terrain are an invaluable asset. It would be wonderful to have you as the guide in the wild. Thank you for everything.

感謝跑山獸專業建議 1. 迷路不要硬下切溪流,留在山徑上 2. 爬山做好準備，裝備，離線地圖， 時間要預留充分。 這影片看後發覺台灣的山真的很崎嶇，迷路留在原地或山徑就好。 我漸漸能理解為何台灣山難頻傳台灣的山蠻崎嶇的，且人迷路會越晚會越害怕，導致失足失溫。

辛苦了，感謝跑山獸及其他搜救人員

The terrain is so compelling, it's no wonder people get lost there - there is magic around every corner and I can imagine myself wanting to go just a little further... Respect to you and all rescue/recovery teams. Be safe, y'all.

The view is so majestic & peaceful! It is hard to think it is so dangerous. Thank you for your dedication & skill to bring closer. You deserve many thanks & so much more. God bless 🙏. Ontario Canada

辛苦了，感謝跑山獸宣導山的知識。 台灣人被迷路要往水源走這觀念誤導了太久了，一往水源處走下去就沒機會回家了。

感謝全體搜救人員的付出

謝謝您為台灣人所做的努力與付出， 主會保守您的平安。

Incredible work you do bringing the families closure like this. Nothing but admiration for you!

請在搜救過程中也保護好自己的安全，我看好多路徑感覺都好危險喔，願主賜福，保佑每一次的出發，你與所有搜救隊員都能平安。也希望所有愛山的登山者能注意安全讓自己平安。

辛苦了 , 自從看了跑山獸 , 馬上學著看登山離線地圖 , 其實不會很困難 , 但是卻能在關鍵時救命

Hats off to you and everyone involved. The recovery process looks extremely difficult. Bravo sir 👏

Your channel popped up this morning.. since watching a few .. I clicked like & subbed.. & said to myself “ why are you not on the Discovery channel ?? “ your content is touching & it’s like I’m hiking along side of you !!! My friend you are truly a kind hearted person.. luvs what you do !!! Keep up the great work & much luv & blessings to you & all you do !!! Xxx from NJ 🇺🇸🙏🏽🥰❤️

下雨天會使原本簡單的步道充滿不可知的危險, 山上濕冷的天氣遠比你想像的難捱

挖靠....真的是好厲害，一天平地走30公里一般人都受不了.....竟然一天走高差3100+m 26公里(還是在低溫大雨的氣候下)。😲 路徑上好像魔幻電影的場景，森林的林相繽紛，卻不是世俗能隨意親近的地方。

Petr辛苦了，不僅辦越野山徑推廣越野跑，還無私奉獻搜救，能參加跑山獸的活動真的很幸福！

Mind bending. This is what I think these videos are . I'm so sorry for the gentleman who lost his way. His achievements ant the love his family had for him are extraordinary. Thank you for sharing all these tips and warnings, these trails are at parts like scaling walls literally. And I have walked some trails where I know if I had to be lost I would not have the strength to surpass some jumps or stretches that could easily be done when you do have the strength and I can see how easily someone could miss a step to fall through these treacherous crevices and slippery grounds full of moss. This is so educational and I will take note and execute some of these if not all because you can forget to take one step and end up in a lot of trouble. Thanks again, your efforts and passion are serving a higher calling along with the SAR team.

真的非常辛苦，你們都是最偉大的搜救隊員

本身是一名獵人 深夜到過無數深山密林 溪流縱谷 偏僻的程度甚至遇過4次黑熊 雖然已經身經百戰了 但從來沒有鬆懈過 對山林一直保持著敬畏的心 不敢小看任何場所 入山前敬天地神靈酒水與乾糧 這真的很奇妙 親身體會就知道我在說什麼

I can really appreciate that you make it about the victim. You're not talking building yourself up, not making it about you and how great you think you are but you make it about the victim. Thank you

was just browsing youtube when i found this channel, this is now the fifth video in a row i watched and im still mezmerized at the hard physical and mental work you are doing to help these people, simply amazing.

辛苦跑山獸及搜救人員了，在這疫情時代下，登山人口越來越多，麻煩出發前看好天氣，若執意雨天登山，請去北市四獸山及陽明山走走步道就好⋯

13:18看見跑山獸的褲子有破損，希望有廠商能贊助這位台灣人的女婿，至少在裝備上出點力，辛苦跑山獸與救難人員!

台灣有你們實在太好了感謝跑山獸專業建議 1. 山難的恐怖迷路不要硬下切溪流,留在山徑上 2. 台灣的山蠻崎嶇的，爬山做好準備，裝備，離線地圖， 時間要預留充分。

你們…真的辛苦了！感謝你們的付出❤️

偶像真的辛苦了，找了一座又一座的山我看了都累 而且天氣還非常糟 離線地圖真的很重要，雖然GARMIN貴了點 但是至少可以發送呼救訊息和下載離線地圖

感謝所有救難人員的辛勞！祝福大家好人健康平安！

How sad that a man lost his life; however what a beautiful place to go. RIP and bless your soul for the amazing work you do🙏❤️

I have only just discovered your videos & you do an amazing job. I can only say thank you for what you do for all those people who do & don't make it out alive & their family.

主要是爬久了就會輕忽，只要不是熱門的山徑，單人攀爬都會有很高的風險，甚至高於百岳(山徑長期沒有人走，路跡不清楚等各種狀況)，且有時候認為單日或半天來回不用帶很多食物跟水，而選擇輕裝，有的甚至只攜帶剛好的食物，水也不足一日(直接找水源裝)，這樣很多時候連原地等待的條件都不足夠，進而陷入要找食水的困境，焦慮更會使得一切變得更困難，從而失去合理的判斷。更不用說其他求生的裝備了，像是火源、燈光、保暖、哨子等。其實也不是盲帶或買很昂貴的，像是火源有打火機、幾根香煙當火種，簡易手電筒，一個輕便的睡袋，這些不會帶來很大的重量，但卻能帶來很大的幫助。

Thanks to all of rescuers and Peter! You all earn my deepest respect ❤🙏

This is sad but I have learned that the wilderness in Taiwan is beautiful and you and SAR are incredible. Great respect.

Lots of strange things go on in the mountains all over the world….regardless of what country or mountain range you are hiking in. It’s always best to hike in a group, however, if you must hike alone, always take a waterproof personal locator beacon with you. Keep in mind, that mountains take on a life of their own and they are very unforgiving.

感謝您！！！感謝每位辛苦付出！！！

感謝跑山獸和搜救人員的努力，讓不幸的受難者可以安息回家，願上天賜福給你們！

台灣的山非常非常的密集！相信嗎？曾經轉了一個彎天氣完全變了樣，而導致預計5點下山延宕至了8點多！ 反省過後歸咎於自己的太過自信，所以各位真的不要以為「來過」或是「體力很好」就忽視了危險⚠️ 大自然不危險 危險的是心態

登山結伴很重要，一個人去就是找死，我一位同學就是獨自登山失蹤至今已超過40年了，成了謎。

看到家屬的背影真令人心碎，R.I.P. 爬山請好好評估自身體力和天氣，普通的散步也是很好的休閒 感謝跑山獸...你們蒐的範圍超大的，好厲害 也感謝所有的搜救人員

為你與你的團隊所做的感到由衷的佩服。

Your dedication is much needed for these families. May God protect yall on yalls journeys.

I really enjoy watching you're video's here in the UK, you are an inspiration my friend ❤️

Pay highest respect to Beast and all rescue staff.

辛苦了，謝謝你們的無私付出

Folks - please don't underestimate the mountains! I live in a popular walking area and see unprepared parties almost every day. What seems like a simple walk can turn into a life-threatening epic in moments if you don't know what you're doing. For any non-trivial mountain walk it's VITAL that: 1) You learn to navigate properly - most serous accidents involve navigation errors. That means understanding what a map tells you about terrain - using a paper map and compass - using an offline GPS app with high quality mapping. I ALWAYS carry a paper map to back up my GPS - phones simply aren't reliable enough on their own. And I practice with map and compass on a regular basis. Navigation is a complex skill - commit yourself to learning it properly. 2) You learn to plan a route properly. That means ensuring that the project is suitable for your skills, experience and fitness - understanding how the weather conditions will affect your route - estimating time and distance - understanding potential dangers like avalanche or river crossings that may flood - leaving full details of your route with a responsible party who will call in SAR if you are overdue. 3) You carry suitable bad-weather gear, emergency food and shelter, so you survive at least a day or two if you have to wait for rescue. 4) And often neglected - CARRY A GPS-ENABLED PLB (Personal Locator Beacon). This is a satellite communicator that can call in the SAR team to your exact location at the press of a button. You owe it to yourself, your loved ones, and to the selfless SAR teams who risk their lives and give up their time to find missing walkers.

I don’t know why your channel came up and a suggested video of rescue. I’m a search and rescue diver and have always wanted to be a part of a team who helps those who are lost. Thank you very much for doing what you’re doing. Sending you positivity, prayers for your good health and good voyage. God bless you.

向救難人員 致最敬禮 你們太辛苦了 太付出了

Where have you been all my life!?😅 I just came across this channel and I’m obsessed! Keep up the amazing work!💖

The work you do here is amazing and heart breaking. Thank you for what you do to save some people and bring closure to families and friends for others! When I was a kid (18 yrs old), I went on a month-long Outward Bound hike and climbing adventure in the Cascade mountains in Washington State (US). It was challenging (even for a fit, athletic, 19 year old - very young woman). These mountains look WAY more challenging (and very easy to get lost) than what I experienced MANY years ago (I'm now 60). I agree with all the comments you made in your video - to be safe. I also think for going on just a part day hike, you should still pack more food and water (or water purification) than you think you need - so you are prepared for an emergency. ❤

15:50 Ughh...gut wrenching seeing what looks to be family members. Thank you for the efforts you and David took as well as the SAR teams.

搜救過程中，你們也多保重、注意安全。感謝您，你跟搜救大隊都辛苦了！最後願逝者安息！

Respect. 題外話，背景音樂選得不錯，莊重、神秘，很有情境。

After watching four of your videos, now i must seriously learn how to use offline map. Deeply grateful for your work 🙏

Taiwan is very beautiful but for very experienced hikers I think. Thank you for thoughtful content.

如此天候下的救援!充滿未知風險，連美景也顯得詭譎，願逝者一路好走，辛苦了!跑山獸與各位救援人員。

感謝你的付出 希望你也能小心安全

My goodness, the absolute contrast in these videos. Heartbreak and devastation in a setting so breathtakingly beautiful, it's terrifying how dangerous it can be.

感謝跑山獸及所有搜救隊員的付出 辛苦了 願逝者安息😢

I just came across your videos a few hours ago and am so impressed with the work you do.

感謝妳及所有搜救人員! 辛苦了!

The only channel on yt I watch on slow motion! You are doing a great service to the families who have lost.

辛苦了，雖然我沒有正式的爬山經驗，但我仍關注你影片給大家帶來的正確影響力！

Holy cow that's the most intense realistic hunting search I've ever seen what a brave man you are beautiful wife and dogs God bless you for finding this man's body for this family

I am glad that they found the poor man for his family's sake. Hideous terrain, I'd be terrified to be there. It is beautiful, raw wilderness.

What a sunday for me...Your videos suddenly was on my suggested videos, I am never into hiking videos or so. This is different and this is something a realization about life as well. I subscribed!

Thank you for those who did not give up tto find this missing man. Our prayers and condolences to the family .

辛苦了！也辛苦所有搜救人員！

應該全面禁止沒有隨行專業人員單人進山這種行為

Never seen or been on your channel, however since i've found it i keep watching. Great channel and keep up the good work!

jesus the amount of terrain you guys covered was insane, my condolences to you. I don't even know how hard it must be to have the bad ending. This scenery does make me want to go hiking though-- safely!

Just came down from Qingshui Mountain today and I can tell you guys it's all true. The mountains of Taiwan are treacherous beyond belief. I slipped multiple times on mossy rocks. It doesn't matter how fit or prepared you might be. It's only by the Grace of God that you come out unscathed. Be prepared. Carry all the recommended gear and please, please leave detailed instructions to a loved one of where you are going. You guys are doing such amazing work by uploading these videos with great instructional knowledge. It's super useful and will save lives. Thank you!

Thank you for doing this job! Please continue to teach others! You are awesome!

Your videos have popped into my feed randomly because of RU-vid algo but damn I'm glad I did. The way you present these rescue or recovery missions shows the beauty of nature that entices us to these mountains - mesmerizing watching you walk through a dense forest and some magnificent views from the top, but equally how deceptively dangerous it is.

Thank you! I respect what you did

看到一個台灣女婿這樣，很感動著，謝謝你...

Found this channel today it popped up i do not no way but it is the second one i watch and cannot stop. Love what you do! Ofcourse the reason why is not that great 😢 so many missing happy you give these families rest and there loveones back

謝謝你們的努力與付出！

Thank you for your efforts to help people in the mountains. It is a hard job.🙏🙏🙇

Mesmerizing. The video is well done and the beauty and treachery of these mountains is something you can feel. Sadly, it doesn't end well but you've helped take somebody home.

Jsi borec. Jen tak dál! Díky za zkušenosti.

When in the mountain, one can never predict what will the weather be. There should be utmost preparedness. If possible be with someone. Do not hike alone. RIP to the family. Good job to u as well

謝謝你們，‘找到了’的感覺好複雜，登山計畫真的很重要，想要上山下海都應該要建立安全觀念
