I think it's more like signal "I'm unhooked" and you keep the rope as far to the side of you as you can so folks upstairs see that it's not connected and can bring it up.
I was a W-EMT in Colorado for a few years, and I did a lot of higher elevation evacs in the middle of the night. It's actually rather pleasant hiking under the stars, the biggest threat is the colder temperatures which are easily prepped for. I was never armed on the job, unless you count my bowie knife. You're more likely to come across predators during the daylight.
@@123s453e56a6l Depends, the greater skill set you have, the more likely you are to get the job. Since you are already licensed, my advice would be to do a 90 day Wilderness intensive course. They teach backcountry evacuation and wilderness medicine and they're usually taught out west. Any experience with volunteer search and rescue is a good asset too
As a former combat medic in the Army that was about as smooth as it gets. The unsung hero there is the helicopter pilot. They never get the credit they deserve.
I was impressed that they called off the initial hoist so the pilot could get a better angle against the wind. I've never seen that before but was happy to see it. You know around there with the intermittent trees and mountains and the lake, the wind must be all over the place.
Not for wind you can tell by the water it's calm, it looks more to me like he was picking a better escape route, as they go from pointing into rising terrain to pointing towards an open lake
@Lee S I didn't know I disparaged all by complimenting one. If someone does a good job you give credit. I gave credit to multiple pilots I worked with. Nothing wrong with it. Not sure when giving a compliment became a negative really.
@@ryandoe11 Yes they are, they're flying a helicopter in mountainous terrain, that itself is a great risk only minimized by their training and experience
That EMT walked in there, alone at 2:30 a.m.!!! Dark and dangerous. 7 hours of hiking through the night. BADASS!! Stuff like this makes my throat feel lumpy.
@@goodsamaritan4521 You are a troll. He went into the forest, knowing he would not get lost, then didn't get lost. Helped save the boy. What the fuck is wrong with you.
When I was 15, a girl on my ski racing team found herself on the wrong side of quite a sizable mountain here in Canada. 3 of us boys with our gigantic brains decided to try and bring her back, which resulted in all 4 of us stuck in the evening on a side of the mountain that couldn't safely be traversed in ski boots. When rescue came, Dave asked us our names and ages, and used that info to give us callsigns as if we were joining the team. My name is Steven and I was 15, so I ended being Sierra15 and so on. He introduced himself as Alpha11 and because of his approach, our fear was non-existent and we were confident and diligent in following his instructions. They efficiently hoisted us from a small 10 ft. patch just above a large cliff surrounded by pine trees within 15 minutes of their arrival. People that do this work are a special breed. Respect and god speed brothers.
I live in Washington and the Northern Cascades are spectacular!! Great job from the rescue team and Karl the EMT for hiking in over 7.5 hours in the middle of the night to make sure this young man okay...
I greatly enjoy these. I know this is primarily a police channel about police things, but honestly too much watching people ruin their lives and get arrested (sometimes unfairly) can really wear you down. But watching people's lives be saved like this is wholesome and pure and uplifting.
@@dakrom7599 Well true, but it's those moments that stick with you in the long run. And my point still stands. Unfairly or no, it can grow tiresome. Doesn't hurt to mix these sorts of situations in there once in a while, it's a nice mixup from the usual.

@@RealWorldPolice King County Sheriff's finest doing an amazing job as always. Love the videos you post of them cause cops aren't just out patrolling and responding to calls they're doing awesome things like this amazing rescue.
Man, this brought memories of me being rescued seven miles of the coast of Key West after a diving accident in 2005. I owe my life to the guys (in the Coast Guard).
@Aniquin Yea this was an easy day-job. They do this shit in bad weather, night time also and all rescued were calm and cool and no first aid war required. Walk in a park.
It would have been really great if the rescuer had told the boy “you now qualify for the Reverse Rappelling Eagle Merit Badge”. That would have been cool and put the boy at real ease and given him a chuckle. Great job!!!
Is no one talking about how calm the kid is?? Damn- when I was 11, if I smashed my knee open and a helicopter had to hoist me up and alone, and first, to get help- I would be bawling! Hahaha. Kudos to the kid for being so brave!!
Well this was interesting! I was an EMT in the late 1980s. I remember a multi-vehicle accident on the interstate that required air support/transport to a hospital that had a trauma center. After I saw a small snippet into their world, I have nothing but respect for air rescues and transport.
Best job to show teamwork! The pilot communicates with the hoist operator and he with the rescuer on the line! This is a beautiful symphony of communication and teamwork!
@@Woah.its.alex_ haha i forgot you idiots in America don't have universal healthcare. Oh well enjoy your crippling debt next time you get hurt! Hi from Europe 😂😂😂😂
@@Woah.its.alex_ awe did you delete your comment where you called the kiddo weak for not walking?

Holy shite! Now THAT'S what heroism looks like! Flippin' A. Takes my breath away. I'm hearing the theme song from Dirty Dancing..."I had the time of my life... I've never felt this way before...I swear..." Something like that 🤯
Love that they are wearing hi vis orange. I’ve seen a lot of videos of crews wearing olive drab, which is fine for everything other than rescue, you want your crews visible to the heli and the victims needing help.
@@jacoblasker7227 This particular incident was in America where most search and rescue teams are volunteers and are always free of charge. They work through donations and member support
Happens all the time, too! (Also of note: ground teams deploy on every air support mission as backup, with the plan being that they won’t get used. SAR activations are enormous logistical operations.)
@@RealWorldPolice King County frequently has missions where the helicopter does a pass and then bails due to condition. Fog, Winds, Darkness, and Out of Ground Effect are the usual culprits. Sometimes the Navy comes with the a Blackhawk; they often choose to take on more risk than the Sheriff. There is sometimes need to move the subject to a better spot to be hoisted. For most missions, there isn't a helo; missions often happen at night, and/or in awful weather. A helo rarely makes the difference between life and death. Ground pack-outs are slower, but a lot more predictable. All of this is Free.
I know this stuff is serious, but that has to be a ton of fun!? Helicopters and ropes where like my two favorite things as a child! Is it as fun as it seems or more of an adrenaline rush?
These guys are superheroes. I took Part in a helicopter rescue on an Austrian glacier. A guy we met fell in a crevasse and wasnt able to move on. whitout the rescue Team he wouldnt have a Chance to escape the glacier....
There is NOTHING more heroic than someone who risks their own life to rescue or save another. Form the pilots to the rescue crew, they have my undying respect!
I’m sorry to bring politics into this, but every time I see some of America’s remaining beautiful places like this, I am angered to see what the current president is doing with the EPA, the Dept. of the Interior, and the National Park systems.

I like the rescuer posing when he landed. I know it's a signal but it looks like a kid claiming victory.
"TAAADAAAAA" Was the first thing that popped in my head when he did that lmao
I think it's more like signal "I'm unhooked" and you keep the rope as far to the side of you as you can so folks upstairs see that it's not connected and can bring it up.
He looked like the par par guys from dragon ball z lol
Haha i thought the same
I agree with you.
Shoutout to the lone EMT who hiked 7.5 hours by himself.
hope he was armed to the teeth and had a transponder this is some missing 411 country

it's their job lol
Tell that to every police officer out there
