    Sending gratitude to ALL searchers EVERYWHERE who use their skills and empathy to search for the lost. Sometimes those who go missing may have acted in an irresponsible way while others, like Paul, are seasoned, responsible hikers. Thankfully, the searchers don’t require a personality profile before caring enough to set out. None of us is free from making mistakes; unfortunately your immediate circumstances often make one, seemingly small, mistake a tragedy. Thank you, Bryan, for your concern and kindness towards all - even the detractors❣️🐅

    Finally, a win!! I'm so relieved for Paul and his loved ones. There have been other positive outcomes but sometimes it seems like such a long time between them. It's because of good people like you, Bryan, that we have as many of them as we do. Some days I'm up, and days like today I'm down, so this was helpful for me too. Both you and Paul are an inspiration to keep fighting. I hope these events lifted your spirits as well.

    Anyone who thinks folks are wasting their time searching for the lost. Should consider that they may some day need some stranger looking for them or a loved one. My 10 year old grandson went missing during a hike and I was thankful that they were able to get volunteers so quickly and he was found within hours of going missing. 😅

    Thank you for sharing this positive outcome with us. I can't imagine how frightening it would be to suddenly realize you don't know where you are and don't recognize anything. This had to be awful for an experienced hiker who expects to see something familiar or hear a voice they know and can then get back home.
    I pray that he is able to go on doing what he loves for a long time.

    Be nice to hear a few more details? How did he survive? It typically gets cold at night in King's Canyon Park. Often high 30's. Sometimes September remains warmer (high 40's), but still cold enough to die from exposure. What altitude? Lakes usually have trails and remnants of campsites? Was he immobilized for some reason? Or did he simply decide to stay put? What was he carrying on his day-hike? Will watch for a follow-up story.

I'm so happy that this man has been found and reunited with his family, no worries about your voice on some of the other videos it's like you said it's human emotion and it's okay to feel sad about someone of these cases it means you care even more about helping get awareness out in hopes the missing get found. Continuing to pray for you and your family during your time of need. Have a great day ☺️

    I need one of these every once in a while. Two areas of interest I have are missing hikers and airplane disasters. Sometimes as a counter-balance I need a missing hiker story with a happy ending and an episode of Mayday: Air Disaster where the pilots pulled off a miracle landing.

    To the people who leave cynical comments, like: "Why do they continue to look for these people? "
    I would like to say, " Wouldn't YOU Want them to continue to look for YOU? " What if YOU were Out There, barely clinging to life? And they GAVE UP 1 DAY TOO SOON. Or even if YOU died, would YOU like to think about a Wild Animal eating YOU?
    Sorry for the RANT.... But I think it's WONDERFUL That these people DO continue to look for YOU, as long as there is a chance that YOU might still be alive.
    Thank You, Bryan for your interest and Concern for these Human beings, that just got lost Somehow.
    God Bless You, and Take Care. 🙏🙏🙏

The fact that I apologize for my voice after losing my best friend and dealing with a chronic illness... I'm just curious what you do and there's strength in needing others. Not weakness.

I just had a few questions that weren't to be read into they were just flat out straightforward questions with no implications. Hi I am well aware that today people look for deeper meaning entendras and implications. I guess that's the problem with communicating the way we are there's no way to read The Voice inflection or facial expression. And just consider the last thing that I said just think about it it's just a thought. Usman in the West have become feminized to one degree or another. My little effort there is just to stop the acceleration. Apologizing when one does not need to does weaken the soul. Just think about it even if you disagree with me my intentions are to strengthen not to insult or to get anyone emotional. In other words just look what I put down and assume good intentions the whole way through is the only thing I can suggest. Then possibly one could see would I wrote quite differently. I wish you the best peace and love and remain strong.
