Trapped in Nature's Maze: The Unexpected Rescue of a Hiker

Geplaatst op February 22, 2024 by Matt

I found my way through the boulder maze, taking several hours before realizing that my easy ridge line was impassable. The weather was worsening, and I was getting quite cold and wet. There was no safe way forward or back.

Drone Search Turns Dangerous: Stranded in Rugged Mountains, Dramatic PLB Rescue Ensues

Geplaatst op January 26, 2024 by Garry

I eventually found a valley that led to the coordinates but there was no obvious route down so it was necessary to explore and route find. Even the best routes down were perilous with numerous slopes of snow, dead ends, dry falls and eventually a dead end ledge overlooking a 100 ft. fall.

Solo Adventurer's Peril: Ankle Sprain Strands Hiker in Remote Wilderness

Geplaatst op January 26, 2024 by Rachel

After overcoming the most challenging sections and crossing potentially dangerous rivers, I was cruising, theoretically less than an hour away from the next hut. However, an unnoticed hole under the brush and a loud pop led to a quick change.

From Drowning Nightmare to Mountain Miracle: Couple's Unbelievable Airplane Rescue Story

Geplaatst op January 26, 2024 by Walter

Upon impact, the cockpit completely flooded with water.  My wife had loosened her harness and managed to kick out the front windshield and swim out.  I was trapped in my harness and underwater; I was drowning.

Dusty Trails and a Sharp Turn: Heroic Biker Activates ResQLink PLB in Walcha Rally Incident

Geplaatst op December 14, 2023 by Hernan

I barely made the corner, and once the dust cleared, I could only see two - out of the three - riders in front, realizing someone didn't make it. I turned around to look for the rider who had missed the corner. The bike had hit a tree, and Hernan was lying about 10 m from the bike to the left. I checked on him, and he was not in good condition, complaining he could not feel his legs, and I just knew this was serious.

From Hike to Rescue Operation: Teacher's Preparedness and ResQLink PLB Saves the Day

Geplaatst op December 4, 2023 by Paul

One of the students held the PLB, and we communicated to check if the signal light was flashing. I placed emergency blankets over parent A and a couple of student jackets around him for support. I stayed with my arm supporting his neck, not moving him, suspecting he had broken his femur on one side and either his hip or femur on the other. Later, we found he had broken his femur and dislocated his hip on the opposite side.

Against the Waves: A Lone Sailor's Thrilling Battle for Survival

Geplaatst op December 4, 2023 by THIERRY DEROY

The adventure took a dramatic turn on February 24, near New Zealand, when a powerful storm struck with winds reaching 40/50 knots and waves towering between 10 to 15 meters. Trapped inside my boat, a massive wave crashed, flipping it over, breaking parts, and flooding it. Despite the chaos, I was fortunate to escape with minor injuries – some shoulder pain and a bump on the head.

Bad Fall Leads to ResQLink 400 activation atop New Zealand's St. James Track

Geplaatst op December 4, 2023 by Meagan

We expected her to get up quickly and laugh at herself. But that didn’t happen. She stayed lying on the floor and told us her arm was really sore, and we quickly realized it was probably broken. She was groaning in obvious pain, experiencing hot and cold flashes and felt very nauseous.

Hiker and Pet Saved at the Pureora Forest Thanks to her ResQLink 400 PLB

Geplaatst op November 10, 2023 by Sara

SAR made contact with me (via blowing whistles) at 10:15pm and we walked 2 ½ hours out. I was surprisingly relaxed, apart from being upset about Frankie, I had full confidence in my PLB and knew they would get to me as soon as they could. (And I knew Frankie would do her best too). The team that rescued me were amazing, and were impressed with how prepared I was, and I was actually a bit proud of myself for being so prepared
