From Montrose SAR (earlier this morning)

Montrose Search & Rescue Team (Ca.)

"Day 6 – The search for Monica Reza continues in the Mount Waterman area. SAR teams from San Diego to Tulare County have joined the mission to help bring her home. We’re grateful for their tireless efforts. #FindMonicaReza #MontroseSAR #MutualAid

"Please avoid the search area. Uncoordinated hikers can interfere with tracking, delay progress, or create new emergencies. We also have enough food & supplies at this time. Thank you for supporting trained teams. #StayClearForSafety #SAR #AngelesNationalForest"

No current imagery of the area that person is in. $759 for new imagery, but the time will be 2-3 days (or longer) to acquire, which is not great when you've been missing for 3 days. That said, there is water at the bottom of the canyon, you won't starve to death as long as you stay hydrated and don't hurt yourself. You might locate someone if they are smart enough to be out in the open with reflective/bright colors. (ps. tip: BRING AN EMERGENCY BLANKET WITH YOU HIKING ALL THE TIME... Can't miss it from a helicopter) #SearchAndRescue #SAR #hiking #Waterman #AngelesNF

Here's one of the typical places people go wrong... Instead of turning left on the trails back towards the road, they end up going past the trail and down into the canyon on the right. The guy I located from his selfie, and I have at least two others (maybe 3?) marked... one was an Eagle Scout and went all the way left and survived, the other was a fatality. There are probably others. The hard part for crews (and hikers) is it is a big area, not easy to be seen in the trees, can't hear people. #Waterman #SearchAndRescue #SAR #hiking

Our Suquamish subject was safely located and extracted! Searchers were called about 2am this morning to reports of an unknown man calling for help in a heavily wooded area. When searchers arrived, the man had stopped answering voice calls, so teams deployed in a grid search of very dense, very prickly woods. After several hours, our subject was located by a dog team (good Kimber!!) with Kitsap County Search Dogs. According to the man, he had been in the woods for 4-5 days and became immobile due to medical issues. He was extracted via litter thru very wet and thick forest by Kitsap WESAR teams. All searchers are home, drying out, and getting some sleep!

Anyone who has struggled with a GPS assistant lagging, giving iffy instructions, relying on outdated data, knows how these can get you in trouble. But in a city, you at least won't die of exposure or fall down a ravine and break your neck, because the algorithm told you that would make your hike 'more scenic' or 'shorter'.

YMMV, of course.

app.wafrn.netWafrn post by alexiathis is great and all but the press release just uses the quite vague term 'AI' which encompasses like a million different things Let's wait for what people actually say about this and how i

SFGate: Tourists go over San Francisco cliff trying to retrieve a lost cell phone

"...The visitors were walking along the Lands End Trail between Mile Rock Beach and Deadman’s Point when one of them accidentally dropped his phone over the cliff. The tourists decided they would try to slide down the cliff’s edge and grab the cell phone, but both became stuck and were unable to climb back up. ..."
