This is the second instalment in my "Lost in the Grand Canyon" series. Here's a link to the first if you'd like to give it a watch: th-cam.com/video/sCgFb8cuevc/w-d-xo.html. I'm hoping to put together a few more in the future, too!
hiking with no map and compass is suicidal..
im appalled at how many dont bring the basics with them..
Well done are u planning to finish the hazing one too and update the boat one after was found guilty of manslaughter
hope they replaced that worn-out sign!! she was very, very lucky.
At some point they probably heard about a person who went missing that was supposed to arrive at their village, and then her backpack was found and it was a matter of following her tracks from there
Gotta give full credit to the locals who were thoughtful enough to venture out and find whoever made those footprints. They are real heroes.
Yes, they are, and I hope that sign got repainted too.
Absolutely!!!
You got to love those parts of stories. When someone notices something that isn’t right, often someone local, and then puts themselves at risk to see what they can do to help. As you said, real heroes
@@mema0005I think we'd benefit as a society if we paid a bit more attention to and helped one another.
Personally, I can't pass by stranded drivers or riders. I know there's a teeny tiny chance that they may be a psychopath so I exercise due caution, but that pales in comparison to the dozens I have been able to help. Even in cases where I'm unsure (vans give me the heebie jeebies) I still let the authorities know.
We have to hang together or surely we'll hang seperately, right?
edit: And kudos to the locals who noticed, found her, and rescued her. They were good people!
@@mema0005 You're not wrong.
But in this example, they almost surely knew someone was missing in the area. So those footprints were likely something they were looking for, and they knew right away who left them. It's also not a significant risk for people familiar with the area and environment.
I didn't expect her to reunite with Coco Gin at the end! What an incredible story. I'm so glad they both turned out alright.
oh thank god, Coco Gin running away made me so sad.
yay! i was worried that id need to feel more sorry for Coco Gin then i did the guy from the other story, the dog didn't fail to pack enough water like the couple from the other story did.
I mean... It could have gone differently: vm"you spilled the water?! You now become the water" would have helped a lot more.
I have been a pet owner since very recently and in my right mind I could not do this to my cat, but I have to consider that dehydration can change our decisions by a lot
I'm going to be really honest, when he said... Oh yes her dog ran away after she scolded it. My only thought was, she drank that dog's blood and we will never know that! 😂 Very relieved.
The dog probably had a better sense of direction than she did. Finally got tired of its human wandering around and not bothering to feed it, walked a quarter mile to the local 711.
Massive kudos to the Havasupai villagers who saved this woman's life. So relieved Cocoa Gin survived! Thanks, FH, wishing you a peaceful holiday season.
I'm so glad I saw this comment because I was beginning to worry the dog didn't make it and wasn't gonna finish the video.
Came here for this comment as soon as they introduced the dog. Didn’t wanna watch if it had suffered. Glad to know they made it. Now I’ll watch. 😂
@awnateixeira8919 So much for the loyalty of so-called "Man's Best Friend." smh
@@geoffgeoff3333 well, she is a woman, not a man, diamonds are a girls best friend....
He was like, “Okay, she’s losing it. I’d better go get help.”
She may have made several mistakes, but her handling of the water situation was very clever.
Was it? Lol anyone would have done the exact same. This woman is far too stupid to be traveling alone. Mistake after mistake after braindead decision
Agreed. Miracles need both luck and good judgement
@mema0005 okay but how is seeing fresh water and drinking it... good judgement lol thats what any person with even a slightly functioning brain would do. Are you referring to the glasses case or bottle she broke? Same logic. Anyone would do that.
I was thinking the same thing. Using what she could to hold water, following the horses to find another pool of water, throwing sand at the snake. She's a smart woman. Through the mistakes, she survived. A miraculous and happy ending.
@@charliedog29 it isn't hard to find stories of people who passed up the resources they needed to save themselves. Keeping your head in a survival situation is important and not a given.
It's refreshing to hear stories of survival rather than disaster. 😊
This counts as both tbh.
Yes love the work done here at FH but more survival stories please tbh they are just as fascinating if not more, I haven't comer across many on youtube its all about disasters a whole channel could probably be dedicated about survival against the odds.
@@largebills337 All's well that ends well! 😂
Is this the first story he's covered where literally everyone, even the dog, survived? It feels like it given all the other survival videos off the top of my head had at least one person dying, like "Part One" of this.
@@MusicoftheDamned He usually does a "close call" video around Christmas time. Miracle on the Hudson, for example.
Oh god to actually see your dog again after that is actually unimaginable. I'd never heard of this story before and in a situation like that it seemed so certain there would be no way they'd meet again. I can't believe it that's just amazing.
Right? The relief I felt when he said they found the dog as well!
When I peek at the comment section before the story is over to see if the dog survived.
I even cried@@GogglesVonAwesome
Scuse me, not meaning to lift the lid on anything here but that dog had hauled ass and was living large hanging out with locals, getting fed, partying, getting scratched……
Not one ounce of Lassie gene in that animal.
Yeah they could keep that dog.
Left its human being out there to die with no hope of being found.
Just said “screw this, I’m out….”…. Not do you want to go with me? Or I think there might be something over this way, let’s go look…..
Nope. Just see ya see ya wouldn’t want to be ya!
Yeah that dog could have stayed at the village for the rest of its days. My turn to say see ya see ya!
Almost forgot, before that animal left, it sabotaged the water supply…..tipped it over and then said “I’m out.”
Nope. Good luck speaking villager language.
That dog was angling got the insurance.
@@richardcranium3579 Absolutely deranged comment lmao
I am so glad she was reunited with her dog. When you said her dog ran off and she was left alone I reached down and rubbed my dog laying here beside me.
I would absolutely follow my sis-in-law's dog in such a situation, she knows more about surviving in the boonies than I do!
I'm not saying it applies here, but I have known some people to get so blinded by the "master and pet" dynamic that they forget that dogs know a lot about getting along in nature, often better than we do.
Yeah uh point of order here….
That dog RUNNOFT.
Left.
Said sayonara.
Arriva Derci!
Hakuna Metata!
The dog Abandoned the human. Let’s say it again slow….the Dog abandoned the human.
Yeah that dog just became a permanent resident of the village. I mean with papers and everything. Yes that dog would have stayed right there.
That dog sabotaged the water supply and booked it.
Are you hearing me?
That dog was angling to collect some insurance money.
No. He would Not be going with me.
Nope.
Not even a little bit of Lasssie effort..No, here Jim, I think the village is this way! Let’s go see…
No it was (knocks over the water), I’m out.
Ha! Enjoy your new residence in the bottom of this canyon with the villagers.
I’ll wave when my American Airlines plane flies over!
I pulled my cat a little closer.
@richardcranium3579 so this is the 2nd response from you to another comment that is an incredibly long ramble about the dog lol
Edit: it's now the 4th.
@@Black-Swan-007 I love the kitties who own me, but I don't think even any of the leash-trained quartet would put up with me taking them to the Grand Canyon.
After watching this video in the middle of my night I did get up and make the rounds an extra time and gave each a stroke/pet and spoke their personal words.
Always have a Whistle on you, it's sound carries further than you can shout. Never go without one.
I love my REI backpack with the whistle integrated into the top clip.
PHEEEEEEEEEP!
RICHIE: That sound could save your life!
FONZIE: Yeah, well right now it's seriously jeopardising yours!
- "The Camping Trip"
- "Happy Days".
Another thing I'd advise is one of those emergency "blankets". I'm not sure why all campers and hikers don't have them- they take up almost no space and even if you need to leave your pack, it can be carried in a pocket. It can keep you warm, shelter you from rain AND is large and reflective so if people are looking for you by air and the area has any open space, they're much more likely to see it. You can get the cheaper ones for less than 10 bucks (and if it falls apart because you got lost and had to use it a lot then it's worth a million times more than that) and can weigh as little as around 2-3 ounces.
Very smart idea
I feel like that dog could've found his way to the village at any time. She flipped and he was just like "okay, stay here and freak out about a little spilled water. I'mma go into town for a bite to eat"
And send for help. I'm sure a cute doggo wandering into the village alone raised some red flags and got the rescue operation rolling.
@@betterthanyesterday3912what….no, nonono……
That dog broke camp.
That dog sabotaged the agua and said screw it Im out!
That dog had probably gained a couple of pound’s before they were reunited….living his best life…..getting scratched……
Hell no. That dog could stay put… my turn to leave somebody behind….
No Lassie barking trying to get somebody to follow it….nope nope nope. See ya Fido!
She was dying of starvation, dude, she was on edge and that ‘little bit of spilled water’ was what was keeping her alive, dude! She ‘flipped’ for a good reason.
That happened three quarters through the trip if the dog had been able to lead her back he had ample time
@rebekahwolkiewicz449 firstly that snd secondly that dog was sitting on that supposed knowledge for more than a week at that time, if he could gave led her back he would have done it. He was starving too
I nearly burst into tears at the part where she was reunited with the dog.
Finding that bottle was such a miraculous struck of luck that my stomach twisted when she accidentally broke it and lost her water. I would have cried and given up right then and there. What an intense story of survival!
This was in an episode from "I Shouldn't be alive" series. Probably the worst mistake anyone even in these critical situations, dropping your bag of supply away before you're 100% safe.
Definitely a bad idea, but when you're many miles into a long trek, it is easy to make that mistake. Even a moderately sized pack can begin to feel like a gorilla on your back. Combine that with a desire to reach your goal and it becomes extremely tempting to the less rational parts of the brain.
The episode is cited as a source in the description!
@timthetoolpoolberg4913 as a white conservative male that has hiked the Grand Canyon with a backpack, I agree
@@betterthanyesterday3912w…what
@@timthetoolpool Your pack should never weigh more than 1/4 of your body weight. She probably over packed it.
As a cadet in the Girl Scouts back in the 80's, I hiked down to the Havasupai reservation.
Beautiful place and beautiful people.
So glad to hear a survival story. Happy to hear Coco was reunited with her best human.
I'm sure her nurse education helped to save her. Nurses learn to stay calm in emergency situations. After making some mistakes she handled the situation well, thinking methodically, investigating her surroundings bit by bit. I'm impressed by her fighting spirit.
😂😂😂😂
The Grand Canyon is a lot larger than you would think from photos, never overestimate your hiking abilities because nature is a beast!!!
It also seems to be much more fractured. From the always used photos, it appears to be one large deep valley with a river at the bottom. How hard can it be to find water and a missing person there? But thanks to videos like these, I'm learning a lot more about the Grand Canyon!
Its called grand for a reason. It really is.
I don't think anyone thinks it's small.
The Canyon is indeed unimaginable huge. There is a tale of Spanish Conquistadores coming upon the canyon and telling their guides that they intended to cross the canyon, fording the stream at the bottom, and camping on the other side. The guides looked at the Europeans like they were bonkers and said something like, "We'll be lucky to get down to the river today, and, if we can cross the river, climbing up the other side may take another day or two." The Spanish had no frame of reference for how large the canyon actually is.
Photos truly don't do that beast of a canyon justice. It's so much bigger in person.
The reencounter with her pet makes me very happy. Having her outburst at him as their last memory together would've been just so bitter and sad.
Love it when you do heartwarming stories at Christmas! (and fictional ones for April Fools )
I wonder how many times the dog tried to lead her in the right direction. Whenever I bring my dog out to go hiking, I occasionally let him lead on the way back out just to see where he goes. He never fails to lead me back in the direction of my truck(which I always carry a supply of food in and feed him before the hike). I leave food on the ground every now and then as bread crumbs which I feel is effective in motivating him to take the right path even if I were to become unsure.
As an aside though, I hike in the desert in areas devoid of bears and other such predators. Nobody should take this as advice in any way. Leaving any amount of food on a trail in a place with a population of dangerous mammals would probably be a terrible idea.
I was thinking the same. She should have just sent her dog off and follow him.
No no no.
Context here folks context.
That dog before it left sabotaged the agua supply….then booked it. Gone. Like a phantom. Was out of there.
Yeah that dog just earned permanent residence with those people living in the canyon…..a new home address. I’ll wave when I fly over on my way home….
@@richardcranium3579what’s your problem dude
@@onlyonethatmattered no problem dude. What’s yer problem?
@fluffy_unicorn859 glad those cells came together for you.
It's amazing how those indigenous people were able to tract footprint's and were able to find her. Not only that but she was reconnected with her dog. This is an amazing story of survival
I just needed to know the dog was ok. I can enjoy the video now. Thank you
@@CheshirePhrogI was about to comment the same!! I couldn’t have listened had the dog not survived :(
Am relieved the dog survived too.
@@CheshirePhrog SAAAAAME I had to pause and come to the comments to see if the dog was okay.
It kind of reminds me of that scene in "Vacation" where Clark Griswold is walking across the desert trying to find help, and the two Native Americans on horses up on a hill looking down saying, "What an asshole."
She proved incredibly tough after doing many incredibly stupid things in succession. No map in unknown hostile terrain, following a broken sign, dropping your supplies, not using markers when doing all of this - skipping any one of these mistakes would have spared her the ordeal.
It's easy for people who aren't familiar with nature to underestimate just how inhospitable the wilderness can be.
@@Gumper30 It is easy for people to do that but it's also easy to do your research and plan accordingly. It would save a great many people if they would be smart and not underestimate nature
As they say, if you can't be smart you had better be tough.
The backpack part just made me yell 😂
No area or geological map, no compass, no sense of direction using the Sun and stars. Nowhere in that trail was a right turn so that was also a mistake. All said, I’m relieved she and her dog were saved.
I can picture see old timer in the canyon pitching his whiskey bottle, not knowing that many years later he'd save someone's life
That was the judges whiskey from Blood Meridian
So glad she survived, absolutely incredible that she held out for 20 days with virtually nothing to support her survival. Glad Coco Gin survived too, I definitely didn't think the dog made it with how the story was told. ❤
I was wondering why l couldn't remember watching pt 1 and then l read your comment, realised that l must have stopped watching pt1 as soon as being told a dog was involved with a missing person but now it's known that the dog is okay l can go back to pt 1 and start watching it again. Phew sometimes it's pretty tiring being an emotionally sensitive dog owner.
@mechupaunhuevon7662well she’s Native American and she survived it. No biggie
There are a bunch of Grand Canyon mishap stories where the dog manages to survive even if its owner doesn't (and is usually rescued first). Dogs usually have better survival instincts than humans do in these situations.
Never hearing this story before I eagerly listened and hoped for a good outcome.
When her dog Coco ran off I lost hope, but when she was found I was relieved.
Then when I heard her dog was OK, I was overwhelmed with warmth.
Nice story just before the holidays FH.
I was instantly depressed when I heard of Coco’s departure. I was really happy to hear the end of the story. Thank you
Omg, i literally yelped for joy when he said the dog survived! Im so glad!
I was so afraid you were going say that Cocojin would die. Glad to hear they both survived.
The dog made it! So happy! The hiker was found and her little dog too. What a great story.
She is most definitely a survivor! Wonderful to hear she was reunited with Coco Ginn. And I do hope someone fixed that damn sign.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were hundreds of missing bodies littering the Grand Canyon.
I'm so happy this ended on a good note. I was bawling my eyes out when she lost her dog. I recently lost one of mine, the 4th one this year, so that part really got to me. Then when she was rescued an actually reunited with her dog, I cried even harder.
My sympathy goes to Coco Gin. I hope she treats him better in the future. She's fortunate her poor dog survived.
Totally agree!!!
You've never snapped at your pet in a stressful situation?
I can only imagine the relief she must have felt not only when she was rescued, but when she reunited with her dog.
Glad to see that they both made it from this horrible ordeal.
This was quite the harrowing ordeal yet ultimately heartwarming. Kudos to the local residents following her trail for the rescue. The Grand Canyon and desert areas of Arizona have claimed many, but here it's a subversion and more so since her dog also made it.
Yay for Cocoa Jim! What a good boy.
Those locals deserve a medal.
I’m amazed she survived! Just doing the 10mi hike to the Falls midday in the summer is a death wish. Today, you need a permit to visit the Falls so they can track visitors, & you have to camp overnight before hiking in. Also, the trail is well marked, so it’s much safer. I highly recommend visiting Havasupai! It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world! His pics did not give it justice. Just make sure you book reservations at least a year in advance, & don’t go in the summer!😊
You know its Tuesday morning when FH drops a video
What a harrowing experience for the woman, and hopefully a valuable lesson for many. NEVER go hiking without getting as much information about your route, the lay of the land and such as possible… and always bring a COMPASS.
The way you paused before you mentioned Coco Gin. You knew we were yelling at you to tell us! Hahahah. I'm so glad for both of them. Totally get why she snapped at him too. I knew he'd find the village, she should have put him in charge from the beginning!
She made some bloody stupid mistakes but thank god she survived too. And I bet plenty of people have made one or two of them but they found the thing they were looking for, or it was in a time there were location beacons, or whatever else. It's all stuff plenty of people will have done and just got luckier than her. Your judgement is imparted when you're exhausted and afraid. Although I DID lose it for a moment when she LEFT HER PACK BEHIND.
The village were incredible, given how they'd been treated, my god. What amazing people.
This is an incredible and miraculous contrast from the first part video. The previous couple had made awful preparations and faced a worse fate despite their experience and 15 years of advances in tracking technology. This woman had everything against her and made the best of it, I think, considering her mistakes were accidents (misreading unclear signage, emotionally lashing out, slipping and breaking a tool). I'm also amazed and so glad that Cocoa Gin made it, that dog must have had incredible tracking senses to find the village alone. And of course, the Havasupai locals were the ultimate heroes. This really was a miracle scenario, despite the awful hardships faced by them both. Thank you for covering a relatively positive story I've never heard before.
The dog was most likely drawn to the scent of water. The village was near the falls and animals have a much keener sense of smell.
The story of a miracle just before Christmas. Thanks for this story of unbelievable survival. I feel very sorry for her, just one or two simple mistakes, the type we all make from time to time, should not condemn a person to such a slow-burning hell as the one she experienced. I'm so happy she and her dog survived.
Also, I really like the "Lost at Sea" track you've been using for the midpoint sections lately.
i was looking for a comment stating if the dog lived before i went any further in the video. i'm grateful for your comment!
@@ShaudaySmith Interesting perspective. You don't feel cheated to know the ending before you watch the episode?
I was waiting, and waiting, and holding my breath in hope, aaannnd -
COCO SURVIVED TOO!!!
Animal lovers, it is safe to watch this video!
(Yes of course I'm glad Linda survived too, very much so, but the way her dog became separated was not the dog's fault, like suddenly running off after a rabbit
I'm sure Linda felt a lot of guilt about unintentionally chasing her dog away, and I am so glad they both ended up together ❤️)
thanks for spoiling the video
@@duchieu235they didn't "spoil" anything. People reading comments ABOUT the video before watching it spoil it for themselves... 🙄
@@duchieu235 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ Meh, the right people will understand the comment.
Have a great Coco-survived day!!
@@GenXfrom75 Truth! 🥇🥇
100 had to know the dog survived before I could watch the video
Coco Gin made it, too! So happy they were reunited. Bet she spoiled that pupper the rest of his life! ❤
Spoiled that puppy for……dumping the water supply and then booking it!?
No no no.
@@richardcranium3579we get it, you hate dogs.
@@richardcranium3579you're a weirdo
This is a prime example of why doing a little route reconnaissance is important. Had she gone over her route on a map, she would have known that she had to make a left and not a right. From that junction, Supai is only a 30-minute hike. At some point, I would have said to myself, "You know what... Maybe I've gone too far and I was supposed to make a left at Albuquerque."
Having been a fan of FH for quite some time, I feared the worst. What a nice change for the holidays. Even that scrappy pup survived. Here's wishing you & yours peace & love this holiday
I knew that he often does miraculous stories where somehow no one dies at Christmastime but still forgot while I was watching this. So good to find out that not only did Cocoa Gin survive as well, they found each other again.
"Linda survived for twenty days without food, water or equipment."
I would have just curled up and died on the second day.
Nah because you wouldn't have been dumb enough to leave your pack right? 😉
seems bery unlikely
I've watched every video you've made and, I have to say, this was the most captivating account of them all. A lovely way to end the year on a tale that did not turn to tragedy.
Geez this one was a tear jerker, when they said the dog was ok and waiting for her I lost it. She is that 1 in a million for sure
What an incredible story. Leave it to you FH to deliver another stellar story. I can only imagine the exhilaration she felt when she was discovered after all that time. And then to see her family and her pooch. What a story she gets to carry for the remainder of her life.
Wow. What an incredible story. Sooo happy the dog survived as well.
Did not expect the ending here to go so well. What a chilling story.
Great story! Glad everyone was ok! And those native guys-they ROCK! They sense ANY danger! Well done!
Gotta love Arizona. Great sun, great people.
Excellent video as always! It’s hard to imagine what her experience must have been like and so incredible that she survived!
A good lesson to learn here: if you can’t tell which direction a sign is pointing never guess.
The dog surviving on his own is a miracle tbh. Cute little fluffy thing like that could’ve gotten snapped up by coyotes or worse. Glad everything worked out in the end! The locals are heroes
There is a I Shouldn’t Be Alive episode about this case that was produced around 2005 or so. In it they interviewed Linda and re-enacted what happened. Worth a watch
Honestly hearing that Coco Jin Survived is just as huge a relief.
It's a blessing to live in this era where we can download trail maps onto our phones and use gps to guide us on hikes. We can also look up all the info we need beforehand to prepare properly. I can't even imagine being lost for 20 days. She is an amazing survivor.
Fabulous tale mate! And a happy ending! One of the few
Oh, thank goodness. Amazing people to notice and follow her steps. And SO wonderful her dear doggo was safe too. Just wow.
A happy ending for Fascinating Horror - THAT is a Christmas miracle!
I really liked the visuals in this one! These grand canyon videos are fascinating, for sure, but different from historical accidents and incidents where you can show a bunch of old photographs or sometimes news footage. I appreciate the effort to make these videos just as engaging!
A perfect story right before christmas. People coming together to save someone and their dog when this could have been another tragedy. Happy holidays, FH!
I have been privileged to go to Havasu Falls and even though it's got Instagram famous and more and more people came that also included people that are not prepared. This woman did not make that many mistakes, this is simply something that happens when you venture into unknown territory. Many thanks to those who were able to track and find her! Wonderful community in the canyons!❤
She made tons of basic mistakes. The only reason she survived was dumb luck that someone followed her footprints.
This is what happens when you venture into unknown territory with no map, put 100% confidence in a broken sign, drop your supplies and don't even bring a bottle, leave no markers to follow. She made very fatal mistakes, but her will to survive allowed her rescuers to find her alive.
This reminds me of the story of another woman who fell in a canyon, breaking her pelvis and causing internal bleeding so she couldn’t leave by herself. She’d brought her dog and the dog ran off and led people back to her.
The whole time the dog is sitting there thinking “Gee I know the way back, soon she will ask me how to get back and I’ll lead her. Hope she asks me pretty soon though, this is the weirdest hike ever”
the reuniting with her dog was so sweet. glad they both lived.
Extraordinary determination, luck & people who bothered to try & find her, saved her life! Why has this never been made into a film?!
All of this ordeal could have been avoided with a map & compass - the two basic (& vital) pieces of survival equipment you should never be without.
You have no idea how happy I was to learn her dog made it out, too. ❤❤❤
This is like a once in a blue moon type of story, glad they found both her and the doggy.
I would've been so sad if the dog was gone. Glad it found its way to the village, and that she ended up surviving too. Incredible odds
Oh god the dog running away after she yelled at it broke my heart. SO happy to hear they were reunited!!
Yeah. I was upset by the fact that she yelled at it, and the dog ran away. He must have been traumatized by that.
@@Keiji555The dog spilled her water in a situation where every drop counts. I think she can be forgiven for losing her cool.
@@Serithe I'm a dog owner, and French Canadian. The idea of chasing a dog away in the middle of nowhere because you are angry is something that is hard to forgive.
It would be akin to chasing your kid away for spilling your water.
@@Keiji555 She didn't actively chase the dog away. She reacted angrily towards it for losing her water. There is a big difference in intent there.
She was incredibly lucky to survive!
I find it less of a surprise that her dog survived, than that she did. A dog's senses would make it SO much easier to find a way out. A dog that trusts people would go seek them out, no doubt how he ended up in the village.
Unfortunately(at least in this scenario), unless trained to lead people in some capacity, they will almost certainly just follow their owner's lead.
What an incredible story with a happy ending! Just unbelievable… Thank you! ❤
I know it may not have been as important, but I'm glad her dog survived as well.
What an incredible and emotion stirring story. Thank you so much for posting.
I’ve heard of this one before and it’s a miracle they survived.
That miracle was the diligent Villagers and by not losing her mind, with a good effort staying in contact with dear old Mum and Dad, way before mobile phones, what a lovely family, but not sure about the dog
She didn’t properly study a local map of the area, didn’t check in with a Ranger Station to ask/confirm directions to her destination, probably overloaded her pack (never more than 1/4 your own body weight) which she stupidly abandoned, and still survived…the locals are awesome for finding and saving her. Also, I’m glad her dog survived.
That truly is a fascinating story with quite a few "Really?!?!?!" moments, almost as if scripted. The most interesting aspect of the story for me is the fact that on the day she began her hike down into the Grand Canyon, August 1st, 1975, some 130 miles west of the canyon, in the rural area surrounding Las Vegas, a child was born who would eventually adopt the TH-cam channel screenname of "Sky Den."
huh?
As soon as she got lost, all she had to do is tell the dog, "let's go home" and let him lead.
I strongly encourage anyone to see what they can of the Grand Canyon. It's humbling.
I've gotta say I don't do these big hikes/adventures but there's no way I'd leave my supplies behind especially on the "assumption" that there was a town or village close by
I really enjoy starting my Tuesdays by watching the latest FH episode. These stories, where there are no fatalities, are remarkable. Thanks for sharing these amazing stories of survival along with the tragic ones.
If the trail starts getting rougher and less distinct, turn around and go back. If it's a trail to a village, it will be well worn. Funny how the dog knew which way to go.
Remember the time when Bobby and Cindy went missing in the Grand Canyon, that sh*t was INTENSE!
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅. Marsha was busy erecting Greg's tent pole that's why nobody the two young twits go missing 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
My mom just came back from visiting the GC for the second time , and she can’t stop raving about just how beautiful, massive, and also intimidating it is! She got the “death in Grand Canyon” book and it was so good! She said she saw many young people being risky taking pics and it’s no wonder people end up hurt or dead if they’re careless
Glad to see unlike most channels some who covers a story with a good ending.
Incredible story. Thank you so much for making and sharing this.
Really glad to hear she and her dog survived. Truly amazing she endured so long without equipment. Thanks for sharing, FH. Happy Holidays!
Amazing she survived. A wonderful outcome to a scary situation. And CocoJin made it, too. One of your best.
Her persistence is genuinely inspiring. Great story!
The canyon is a dangerous place. One must never hike alone!!
Wow an utterly amazing story, thank you for a Christmas blessing!!😊
Aw it was so nice that she was reunited with her dog. I know how much pets can mean to us, so happy she had a happy ending to her ordeal!
They just followed her footprints and found her? Couldn't she have just retraced her own steps that way?

I'm so glad the dog made it that I let out a cheer! 🎉
Happiest fascinating horror episode ever! 🐕
Seriously though, the fact that she approached wild horses and wasnt immediately stomped into mulch is the most incredible part of the story.
I'm in!
Keep doing what you're doing. I like that you do a wide variety of topics. Foraging, cooking, cabin, dog, canoe, camp, snow machines....😊
