Rescue successful-- he was cold, wet and tired. Tried to drive off the packed roadway to go around a snow drift-- u know what that means? Very soft goo. even if the road is covered w/ snow, its better packed than the soft dirt along the road, so stay on the 'road' if possible, even if u cannot actually see the 'road'. He had no winch (if he did, we'd never likely have gotten the call-- just tug ur self out and be on ur way) He DID have a cell phone and, best of all, a GPS-- he was able to relay his coordinates and that saved his a$$. Imagine not having a GPS and telling rescuers something, "Well, i'm over this ridge, next to a tree, lots of snow and a big rock a 1/2 mile back" that'd be impossible. W/ the GPS, they literally drove right to him, almost... anyway, its all OK now. Anyone learn something from this?
Don't go alone-- but if u must, be VERY PREPARED.
GPS and cell phone a must
file a 'trip plan' with a trusted person and for when they should start to worry.
Some common sense and
Get a winch + land anchor.
