In flight school right now for the Marines. You guys are motivating me to study harder and hopefully one day be able to do this kind of work. Thank you!
Hey thank you sir from this old 0331 Marine myself! Semper Fi. Hopefully you get Hueys and can fly these someday. Greatest job and mission in the world!
@@stuuts8509 do your best daily all you can do and remember we’re all human so don’t over stress and talk to others when shit does get hard. We’re brothers and we understand we do this for each other and our people. Study it will save lives surround yourself with good men and women that have your same drive and spirit you have man.
I was listening to this on my scanner in Palm Desert as it began unfolding. I had multiple scanners going to get dispatch, air and ground crew comms. It sounded like the boyfriend was hiking in and out to make calls to 911 and CPR was performed on her by her boyfriend at some point. I hope they both fully recovered.
Dehydration is no joke. I had to gave ems help me once because of it. Gave me several Gatorades and an IV. I’ll never forgot the cool feeling of the liquid in the IV bag going into my arm and through my body. 20 minutes later I felt like I could run a marathon .
It takes special people to do this type of job as you are risking your own life every time you go out to a rescue. I greatly appreciate what you all do and you really need to be appreciated more than you are. Thank you for all you do and may God always keep watch over you all 🙏🏻💕
@@Hook-in-handYou men make this look so easy! Just did a training run with Maine Game Warden Service and Appalachian Mountain Rescue. Whoa! We decided I needed the perspective of the injured hiker. Before sending the team and me executing a hoist rescue. Very interesting perspective! This job does require tons of technical skills as well as BLS. We do not get many calls for mountain rescue. If they do come in…mostly for out of staters who do not understand the Appalachian Trail from Mt. Katadin to New Hampshire. The most difficult parts of hoist rescues are for the pilot and engineer on the hoist. That is orchestrated precision! Spinning while being hoisted was not fun…lol…hard to enjoy the view! 2nd run was beautiful! Let me just say…when the hiker is less than cooperative (for fear of the lift)…YOU definitely have your work cut out for you!!! This type of rescue does require significant upper body strength (getting the patient and ourselves into the helo cabin). Kudo’s to you boys out west! You make this look like a cake walk and it’s exhausting! *service above self*❤
@@Hook-in-handY’all make this look easy! I’ve done a couple of runs and not my thing. Maybe when I was younger…lol. Been in EMS for 27 years. I will execute my medic skills with FD. God bless you all! So amazing! BRAVO ZULU BROTHERS!
I'm glad they are ok! I live in the desert; I do NOT go hiking in triple digit temperatures and even when I drive somewhere I take water. I broke down nearly 20 years ago on the side of I-10 and almost passed out from heatstroke. A Highway Patrolman gave me a ride to a payphone at a nearby gas station after I told him I felt sick and borderline delirious.
We either learn or we don’t lol glad you made it out of the desert I don’t really mess with them much more of a woodland type Michigan and Washington but dangerous all in their own rights.
@@JohnSmith-qe6fb the rain and wind in Washington can get you quick and the bitter lake affect of Michigan is crazy at times in recent years the winter hits in January or February but hard. Always have alil equipment in the car I even have enough firewood in the back of the Subaru for a night. And always have something I can abuse to get more firewood lol 😂 a pocket knife or sometimes I bring something alil bigger axe kukri or ka bar
@@JohnSmith-qe6fb if I can’t find food with 34 rounds of 9mm just with the conceal carry alone. I’m never planning to be stuck in the middle of nowhere but MREs from the military are also good to have on hand. So you don’t need to hunt if you’re really in a bad spot. People get in trouble not being prepared. My girl was also army if we can’t survive a month in the woods then idk lol 😂
I live in the Coachella valley and it never ceases to amaze how people think they can go hiking in the desert in the summer. 🙄 thank you for your hard work guys! Stay safe out there!
I've always wanted to be a rescue swimmer, but I don't live near the ocean and I'm too close with my family to join the military and move. Mad respect for you heros.
I love these videos. I would die out there. I never want to riide in a helicopter. Never mind the hoisting part. You would have to knock me out. I appreciate & respect those of you who choose to do this kind of work. It's a comfort knowing you're just a phone call away. However, I pray I never need your help. Thank you sincerely for your service.
Wow great job by the rescue team. Hiked this canyon not that long before this happened. Shorter distance than Mt Baldy but I drank more water on this hike due to the heat. I was surprised how much water I drank.
I did this in the 70s in LA County. The carabiners look a little different..🙂 But really the technology seems quite similar to what we were fumbling to invent back then. The bus has changed quite a bit. We were in a Sikorsky 58-T. But the end game is still "Crew chief lowers the monkey on the wire". It's what we used to call an "E Ticket Ride". Thanks deputies, paramedics, pilots, mechanics. You are indeed "Life From Above".
awesome that you thanked the mechanics too. the mechanics don't take enough credit when it comes to these kinds of missions. one torque spec off and the entire crew's life is at danger. love it.
Excellent Response and Rescue by everyone involved. Heat Stroke and Dehydration can both be killers, they can sneak up on you if you don’t properly prepare for them or miss the warning signs, Hopefully she will make a full recovery.
How does one get involved in a career like this? What an incredible and fulfilling way to spend your time! Great job on the rescue, truly inspirational.
Unfortunately, often times this is unpaid or volunteer based. Usually ppl involved in the "search and rescue" volunteer unit of their local sheriff or fire and have to be able to respond quickly. It's too bad because I also agree that this would be a great full time gig, but there's just not enough of rescue operations to occur to justify it to be full time.
Bless all teams involved stysafe, styhealty and take care with this daily routine duty to settle, handles this case of difficult, dangerous duty, thank you this channel, good luck, good day, stysafety, styhealthy and take care, be careful wherever in any location, from, raddy, ddy.
I've hiked this area before with some friends on a 100 degree day. We packed 4-5 liters of water a person and drank it all within 6 miles. By the time we finished up we were rationing water. There is no gps or cell signal from within the canyon, so if you make a wrong turn and dont have an offline map you have to climb up one of the steep hills to get service. The hike was gorgeous but a lot of areas were not clearly marked so it is extremely easy to get turned off into dead ends, but you dont know it until quite a ways into them.
Strange to see the upload date as "44 seconds ago" lol. Thank you as always for sharing your incredible work. How much total weight are those hoist cables rated for?
Thanks for watching! The cable itself is rated for 3,000lbs, but the limiter is the clutch inside the hoist itself. We can lift 550 lbs when the temp is above freezing, 500 lbs below freezing.
Does the Heli move forward to help prevent spin on the wench? Or did it move forward just to get moving back to the drop off quicker. I noticed it with the male hoisting up but figured it was to help with the down wash of the blades on the female.
Hi that's a great question! In this case, it was for both reasons. Forward flight helps mitigate a spin/swing, but in this case, we needed to get her to the air ambulance asap. Typically, we will fly away when it is the last victim as well.
Awesome channel, love the videos. You guys seem like a great SAR crew really working well together with great communication and training. Is the highest level of care on your crew emt-b or is one of you a medic or intermediate? Wondering if you guys are able get a line going and get some fluids into a pt like this during transport or do you have to wait to transfer to ground ambulance or hems?
If I'm correct it prevents them from being spun around. Moving forward makes them hoist straight. You can search "helicopter rescue spins out of control" to see what else could happen. (Hopefully someone more qualified can speak up tho I could be wrong)
@@Calzone407 yeh i believe spinning can be really serious, downdraft from the blades can make them spin out of control, theres a few vids of ppl spinning like crazy. They have to touch them on the ground or dip them into the water to stop it.
Our guys are far from those studs, but they are very highly trained in the tech mountain and hoist stuff, medicine and so forth. Thank you for that and for watching!
The utter stupidity & selfishness of people who go out into the inhospitable wilderness poorly prepared never surprises me. And the when it all goes wrong 4 men, most likely with their own lives & families risk it all in turbine helicopters to rescue them. Yup it comes with the job, but it should not be happening. It epitomises the selfishness of the me me me lifestyle of today. BZ Gentlemen.
Hey thanks, great question. Their harness also has waist and leg straps that are tighter than the shoulder harness. It always looks loose at the shoulders when they lean forward.
Hi thanks for noticing! It is not for ballistic purposes, but it is necessary for wind noise protection. Without it it is very difficult for the pilots to hear his instructions.
@@Ndub1036 "I kInDa dOuBt thAT" bro your gonna argue against the people who actually use the equipment and know what their talking about? Talk bout narcissism. It's literally just a mic shield. Pilots, military gunners or crew members of both fixed wing aircraft & rotor wing can wear them if there's gonna be open doors in the aircraft.
Are the people being saved from their own stupidity and lack of planning eventually billed for these professional rescues, or….? What? We just save unskilled people for the hell of it? Let the strong survive and the weak perish. The gene pool, climate, available resources… all will thank you. And so will I.
Mistakes happen, maybe their car broke down. You need context my friend. If you were in that situation you would do anything to get saved so dont act like you are better than others lol
I immediately took a sip of water.
LOOOOOOOL!!!!!

Hiking in Painted Canyon in June is nuts. It's doable but it's hellishly hot and not worth it imo.

is the guy hanging out of the helicopter a Riverside County Sheriff or is he a firefighter that works for the riverside county sheriff department ?
Hi thank you. All of our crew are sworn deputy sheriffs with our department.
🙏🏻
Nope. Don't get hiking in a desert. Or anywhere.
I like how her face was completely uncovered for a second and then all the sudden blurs
When you guys are bringing them up, why do you start flying away and hoist them up after ?
If I'm correct it prevents them from being spun around. Moving forward makes them hoist straight. You can search "helicopter rescue spins out of control" to see what else could happen. (Hopefully someone more qualified can speak up tho I could be wrong)

@@Hook-in-hand good answer..
Remember, water itself does not hydrate you, the electrolytes and minerals in the water do! Stay safe.
Always amazing to me that people just hike in the desert. There’s zero natural resources to live off.
So you save today. Who will save them tomorrow from another foolish adventure. At what point do we let adults live with their choice s?
i wonder what kinda price tag that ambulance ride costs lol
And they paid one hell of an expensive bill.
