No word or update??
It doesn't make sense, from the very beginning of the story
Areas above Fort Nelson got hammered by early snowfall on the weekend. Hopefully they got out, or Search and Rescue were called to get them out of there. Being trapped in wet and cold conditions would be a sure recipe for disaster.
I can feel for their situation. You just have to witness what 6" of heavy wet snow will do to a fully leafed out poplar or birch or willow. More than just a few bent branches, lots of times the trunk is bowed or shattered, there could be thousands of fallen trees on the trail
On the plus side lots of northern trails will be better for years to come, with less encroaching foliage )
It’s a hunter’s wife asking for help for her husband and son. It’s not a story. It’s one of the good things about this site, maybe someone in the area could help. I would be so lucky that my wife would go on here to ask for help if I needed it.
Speaking of stories, what happened to that thread of you filling your wife’s tag?
@Champs I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I hope your guys had a safe night, and that they get themselves and their equipment out of the bush. I can’t even imagine how you could deal with all the thousands of broken trees, let alone over a foot of fresh wet snow. Good luck, and I think they are very lucky to have you on the ground to help them get out.
If the trapped duo can communicate with their family, they can communicate with the SAR. If the wife can ask help in this chat room, she can contact the SAR or rcmp as well.
Why the didn't do it? Time was being wasted.
were they worried about paying rescue fees?
Their action or inaction reminds me the wife of my friend. She saw my friend lying on bed with foams coming from his mouth, she didn't call the ambulance, he called another friend to come to help. In the end, my friend died. He might have been saved had she called the ambulance the first place
