Cool story! 

 

"Prineville teens help in dramatic rescue near Mount Jefferson"

Central Oregon teenage hikers help coordinate dramatic rescue of injured man near Mount Jefferson

(from The Bulletin, 19 July 2020)

 

It's encouraging (to cynical me) to hear about teenagers who have it together -- willing and able to help others.

Great story. I hope he does become a Wilderness EMT. Shows just how useful an Inreach (or similar) is.
