Wind River Hike Gone Wrong | Man Trapped Under a Boulder
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- My Christmas gift to you all, a surprise video! A video fitting for the day. Mike Turner, 48, is an ardent outdoorsman and a pastor. Turner planned a 60-mile solo hike in the remote Fitzpatrick Wilderness in the Wind River Range. He chose solitude, believing it would allow him to move at his own pace, capture moments with his camera, and commune with God in peaceful seclusion. During his trek, Turner stepped onto a large boulder that shifted treacherously beneath him. Reacting swiftly, he leaped forward, landing on another boulder at an awkward angle. In a harrowing moment, the shifting rocks closed in, trapping him between them, and crushing his legs with excruciating force. As the chaos of the rockslide subsided, a haunting silence enveloped Mike. Stunned and gasping for breath amid dust and fear, he assessed his situation, finding his legs trapped but miraculously unbroken. This ordeal will bring Turner to the brink, testing his faith in the process.

Merry Christmas to you all! Wanted to surprise you all with a video today. Felt fitting that on this day, a story of faith in a survival situation is fitting. I hope you all get what you wanted!
Merry Christmas! Thank you so very much for all you do.
Merry Christmas and thank you for this surprise! Hoping your Christmas is filled with what makes you happy.⛄❄⛄
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Merry Bud Ice-mas to you
HE DIED?!?! I’m not happy, man! This was supposed to be one of those tales where, even after all he suffered, when the prospects were bleak, the rescuers arrived or the helicopter came. So heartbreaking that he didn’t make it out with his life.
Great story!! Hope you had a wonderful holiday and cheers to a happy and healthy new year, my friend!
Let's all practice gratitude for every breath we take..practice empathy towards those we meet..
Peace, Love & Joy to all..
This story really hit me. Seeing his faith tested and in the end, unwavered from it was amazing. On Jesus's birthday, this was a great present. Thanks OD for your work on these. This one was great. Your words at the end were very touching.
Thank you OJ! Amen!
_For all its beauty and splendor..._ it's another Outdoor Disasters upload, yes! 🤟😎
❤❤👍
There was a lengthy article in Backpacker magazine about twenty years ago about this mishap. I wondered when someone would retell the story. I hope his faith encourages others to faith in Jesus Christ. His momentary infliction is surpassed by his joy in heaven. He will one day be reunited with his family and maybe even his dog!
So it was "gods plan" for him to die under a boulder and to never see his family again? Can we just admit that sometimes crap just happens?
Just one more example of why you shouldn't hike alone! So sorry for him but he was doing what he loved! 😢
You lied to us, saying no new video til after Christmas.... but personally I like a hard working individual, happy holidays, a nice surprise.
Haha! Merry Christmas to you!
Best.. PSYCH!.. Ever.
Lying is a serious accusation. Perhaps you meant to say he was dishonest. 😂
I agree. A lie is a knowing and deliberate untruth calculated to mislead, avoid, or evade negative consequences which might otherwise attach to the liar. It is an act of deceit and moral cowardice. Sometimes people make statements about their intentions and then say something later which appears to contradict their initial statements. How about instead of saying he lied just say that he changed his mind, and on second thought decided to do something different? Sheesh. 🙄 Here's a guy wanting to provide something additional of further interest or entertainment value and you call him a liar? That's a dark and cynical world you're living in. Why are you watching and commenting on the video of a liar, anyway?
This story reminds everyone that regardless of if one is hiking or driving down the road. Always be prepared because anything can change. Mike Turner left a message that many fail to heed, through his death a stark reminder to be prepared. To have faith in God regardless of the outcome for God it is on his time not ours. Mike Turner passed away totally accepting his fate. Amongst the wilderness conversing with God and at peace, watching God stretch his hand out for Mike to come home. Mike accepted God's hand and he now rides the waves of the wilderness in spirit form. Prayers to his family and friends may God give you all the strength and peace you may need forever. This video is befitting for today is Christmas Day the day that Jesus was born. Thank you for this video and Merry Christmas stay safe, warm/cool, and blessings.
Well said. Merry Christmas to you as well.
And thank you for this beautifully written comment. I really needed to read this today.
Driving on American roads is much more dangerous than being alone in the wilderness.
I lost it when Andy turned up alive
Who else looked at their own dog with a tear in the eye
💓🐕💓Our most trusty and faithful companions.
A few yrs. ago (in the UK) a rabbit hunter took his trusty terrier along w/him while he hunted for rabbits. He tied his dog to a neighboring tree while he poked his head down a rabbit hole and couldn't dislodge himself from the hole.
The following day, a woman taking a walk, came across his body, only his torso, legs and one arm, which extended out from between his legs visible. He'd succumbed to asphyxia. I am sure he would have been grateful that his dog was rescued from suffering a slow and agonizing demise himself, tethered to a tree. May both these poor men RIP.🌹❤
He maintained his faith in the midst of very difficult times. That's when you know you have a true faith in God. Sorry he wasn't found alive but glad he was found.
What a sad story. Andy was an angel, watching over his friend and "showing the way" back to his body and the preserved journal. Thanks, and Merry Christmas.
Exactly what I wanted for Christmas!! Have a great day everyone 🌲🎁☃️❤️
So glad the dog survived. And what a beautiful ceremony by the family. Rest easy, Mike Turner.
Unlike so many other outdoor disaster narratives, this one struck me most by its lack of numbskull decision-making or poor preparation. Mike was hiking well within his experience level, seemed to be properly equipped and apparently making sound decisions along the way. Just goes to show no one can avoid risks altogether when venturing afield. One can only try to minimize them. The rewards for taking on these risks are incalculable, however. As someone who doesn't adhere to any religious beliefs, I can only hope that if I ever found myself in a similar situation, I could at least take some measure of solace in knowing that my end was going to happen in such an incredibly beautiful location.
Except for the lack of equipment for navigating hills and protection for the dog's feet..
Except for hiking alone. Which is his biggest mistake.
Taking his dog on such a long hike was cruel to the dog. He doesn't have shoes on the rugged terrain. He's not a wolf.
Then he went off the trail so he couldn't be found. And there's more chance of bad things happening off trail.
And if you are going to go alone, maybe take a flare or something.
But lastly, his words show a common mistake in his beliefs about God. People of faith attribute all kinds of things to being from God. They delude themselves into believing nothing too bad can happen that they can't pray to God to rescue them from.
We know he thought this, because he felt so angry and abandoned.
The truth is, God doesn't rescue people, he doesn't answer prayers. Physics answers prayers.
@@SilentThundersnowthank you for saying this❤ I know some religious people who do this often. They are convinced they are ‘special’ and that God has some plan for them. It’s quite narcissistic ❤
He went hiking alone. That to me is the number one no-no. So many of these stories are about people who went out hiking, or climbing, or sailing, or whatever, alone. Some don't even tell people where they're going. It's ridiculous. A buddy (with opposable thumbs, although I'm sure Andy was a very good boy), could have made all the difference in this situation.
@@SilentThundersnowGod was there when Mike was tempted to deviate from the path he told everyone he was taking. Mike went one way, and God went the other way, to meet Mike’s family & friends for the final campout of the trip.
A lot of ppl are talking about how this guy was really prepared and hiking "within his skill level"- but I beg to differ. Any experienced hiker would've looked at that boulder field and been like "nope". It's on too much of a slope, the boulders are too loose, and they're plenty large enough to trap a leg. He should've found a way around it- and if he was truly forced into it- then you proceed unreliably cautiously and slowly- otherwise, well- you see what happens. You have to slowly put your weight into each step and see if the rock tilts or moves- if it does- stop- find a different place to step. Also- there's no way I'm hiking into an area like this, where I can't make a call and I have no satellite phone, by myself. I did it when I was younger and didn't even think about it- but since turning 50 there's no way- there's too much of a chance that something goes wrong. I can no longer trust that I won't fall or twist and ankle or whatever. My balance and reflexes aren't at all like they used to be.
You are forgetting he had God as a personal bodyguard 😅😂❤
I'd be worried about the dog's feet on the glacier, too.
Surprised and appreciative!! Thanks! Hiked, back-packed, built trails for the Forest Service and did Master' Degree research the length and width of the Wind River Range, often w/o companions, but never alone. From Marten Creek, 3Forks Park and Old Squaretop, to Nancy, Barbara and Sequoia Lakes, to Boulder Creek and Lake Ethel, to Big Sandy Opening, Black Joe Lake and Temple Peak, to Packsaddle Lake and to Whiskey Basin, I loved that special place of wilderness as sacred! There, but for the turn of a rock, go I; fortunate beyond understanding, and sorrowful for the pain and loss of Mike Turner and his family!!
Poor dear Pastor Mike. God bless and Merry Christmas 🎄Andy what a good boy
God really does work in mysterious ways.
Unfortunately, so does the Devil. 😈. 👍
With people seeing bigfoots sasquatch's and UFOs, no one looking for lost hiker didn't see anything and journal didn't mention nothing like it, respect the wilderness for it get in it you're fair game no matter who you are 😎
Bought a used jeep for Xmas to help pursue my outdoor hobbies.
Your videos are always on point.
Happy holidays and keep up the good work.
Voice and description of wilderness is pure poetry, beautifully spoken.
Thanks for listening!
Oh, wow! Thanks! Great way to start with a cup of coffee before the shower and the Christmas day begins. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Here's to a prosperous and peaceful New Year!
I've been there. No boulder on my leg... just my every day life.
That last speech at the end was very well written...nicely done
Well outdoor disasters has done it again! Blessed us with a Christmas story although I wish I could say Christmas miracle but it was not meant to be for Mike Turner! Such a sad ending for what seems to be a great man! The story is told very well by outdoor disasters as well as the usual survivors tips at the end!
Happy that Andy survived. Wow- what rotten luck. Poor guy. Thank you as always for the excellently researched and narrated story!
I *profoundly* appreciate any man of faith who knows to never work on faith alone and knows when they have got themselves into a situation and that God is not a genie who will save everyone.
It's *utterly* *offensive* when you've done everything right & hear testimonies of other Christians who have miracles of graduating without college debt or being saved medically while other Christians *_aren't_* saved from those perils.
Literally, faith is not more about the outcome of a situation, but _why_ you believe and what your faith does for you. You can serve a god without him giving you what you want, it's more so coming to terms with *_why_* god didn't answer your prayers.
It's *_vital_* to realize that a lot of the time it's our own short-sightedness, selfishness, desires, or hate that blocks us from our desired goal.
I'm never one to advocate for faith, especially as people get older, but it's good to know when we've messed up versus when God messes up.
God is fiction. It’s quite depressing and delusional how many people just blindly believe that there is a guy on a cloud with flowing white hair and robes. Grow up and give credit to real REAL things that are happening. Living in reality no matter how bad or good life is is always better then wishing on an ancient fairy tale with ZERO proof. Why go to the doctor? Just pray your electric bill is paid and tithe more to the church.
The region between Knife Point Snow Field, east as far as the Reservation and Alpine Lake, is subject to seismic activity which sends car-sized boulders crashing down, from every side. Our faith goes beyond the bounds of this wilderness, for in yet a little while, for those who believe, tears will turn to joy, and defeats absorbed by the victory of the One born in that manger so long ago and far away on that first Christmas day,
Merry Christmas!! Thank you for the Christmas gift video! It's a nice surprise! I pray that Mike's family find peace and comfort and may Mike rest in peace 🕊️🙏
Andi is so faithful..he/she left only when she knew her dad😊 passed away already..
Wow!! Nice surprise! Thanks a bunch for the video❤ Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Same to you!
You are a master storyteller! I look forward to every new video, and the safety tips at the end really set your shows apart from the others. Thank you for the excellent content!
Thank you very much!
This is a great channel, excellent narration and storytelling 👍
Thank you very much!
Yea boii have a nice day everyone happy holidays!
😃 A Christmas present from OD! Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄
I really enjoy the channel and appreciate the respect you show toward these sometimes tragic stories. Watching this and your other videos always leaves me wondering what I can do to prevent something like this happening to me. It occurred to me that maybe the one piece of equipment that could have helped so many people in these stories is a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) So many times there are hundreds of people searching for the hiker, but no way to locate them. It's definitely inspired me to buy one for myself.
Did they get his wedding ring back ? Great wilderness story ! Glad the dog brought them all back together ! Thanks
It was nice to find a new video. I missed my regular routine due to company…. Happy New years to the best Narrator!
As a faith based person that is not always the best and faithful servant, I'm emotionally conflicted with this outcome between anger, unfairness, and spiritual acceptance.
You're a good writer.💓Very insightful comments.
@@isabellind1292 Thank you.
Wow …. Some of the stories you tell really sticks with me. This is one of them . RIP! As An avid outdoorsy person who often solo sometimes even if we’re careful anything can happen. Another note to take . Ty for the upload & Merry Christmas.
What a freaking crazy thing to have happen tho eh..get stuck in the rocks of all things🤦🏻♀️that would be hard mentally
Shout out from Nor Cal
Thank you for this great, well articulated video.
REALLY sad story....really sad
Your voice is so soothing. If you're interested in it, you should seriously look into how to get into audio books, I think you would be perfect for that.
Excellent video Happy Holiday's
Sad to be so prepared, but nature threw a curveball. 😢 RIP
Thank you O D love your channel happy christmas❤️❤️🎄🎄
Very sad had heard this before. Andy the dog was great
Was not expecting that outcome. Although I felt irritated by the repeat images of an overweight person struggling with a trapped leg, I still teared up at the end.
Glad the faithful doggy made it back safe.
I go solo hiking. But, I don't have human children. Should the rules be different for parents? 🤔
Yeah, they could’ve used a more svelte bodied actor... Turner wasn’t overweight
Sad story.
This is the third story I’ve read about being trapped under rolling boulders.
Great storyline and Vid! 👏
Thanks for the upload merry Christmas
JESUS SHARKS!
Thank you for your brilliant story telling throughout the year ❤️ merry Christmas ❤️
Hello from Saskatchewan
Sad to hear about incidents like this, esp when they could have been avoided with a PLB. Perhaps they were more $ and harder to get back then. 😢
It is always safer to hike in a group or at least in 2s 😊
So sad.
There weren't garmin inreaches back then but now I won't go on a solo hike without one for this reason, anything can happen and you can be SOL and you're only life life is that little device.
He was woefully unprepared for this journey and paid the price. Oh well. It has nothing to with faith. Either you are prepared or not. Solo-traveling is always a huge risk.
So sad and very unfortunate. He had no communication device. Why ?
The question is: How do you manage to turn a tradegy or even death into a poem?
Sadness aside, what could have saved him. I mean what could he have done, or had taken with him, technically speaking could have saved him? What do the current hikers do , or carry that will prevent such mishaps. Can this tragedy still happen? The movie 127 hours, was it based on this?
🤦🏻♀️Frig...see how easy crap can happen when your all alone...not for me😐out there alone...understand the desire to be buuuuuuuut......
Why do I get this sneaking suspicion that your the actor? 😂
Never ever go on any solo hike or any hike for that matter without a emergency locator beacon it will save your life when god won't
L ooks like God was sleeping on the job. Talk about a forsaken situation!
You never think it would happen to you.
The question is; "was he prepared ..?"
Is great to have solace with God, but, as Proverbs state; "to be Prudent ..." ☝️☝️☝️ I'm
7:14 "Mike proceeded cautiously. Sweating under the shelter of a chocolate brown floppy..." ;)
Can you please say "spoiler alert" before you call anyone an "Avid Outdoorsman"? I've been watching youtube disaster videos for about 20 years one thing I noticed is Avids have a 100% mortality rate.
This guy did not seem to be a very holy person. Rather than find joy in his family, faith, flock, friends, church and the Scriptures, and in the beautiful state that he lived in, he felt the desperate need to go out into the wilderness to feel good? This is bizarre. Maybe God was sending him a message.
What a crying shame
The lesson I got out of it was there either is no God, or he doesn't care.
I'm glad for people that are able to have faith, but I can't reconcile a God who calls himself love, and completely abandoned us.
He was a pastor but his family cremated him? How is that Christian like?
Not "ordainment"-ordination.
This might be a good video but I couldn't get through the twenty minutes of the narrator's bull shit to find out.
get outta here
