Thank you Maverick. I skipped the text, because they posted that report with a picture from last week. ...thought I'd seen it already.

Here's a better one. Shows how worthwhile it is to carry an InReach when hiking solo...

H-82 was requested to respond to Tuber Canyon in the Panamint Range west of Death Valley. A solo hiker intending to hike from Death Valley to the summit of Mt Whitney ran into some bad luck and ran out of water sooner than expected. To make matters worse, his planned en route water source had dried up. After being without water for 24 hours and with no water sources nearby, the hiker activated his In-Reach device and used the satellite messenger to send for help. Because the hiker had an In-Reach device, H-82 was able to quickly locate the hiker. H-82 landed off site nearby. When the crew contacted the hiker, he was severely dehydrated and suffering from heat exposure. The crew assisted the hiker and his gear to H-82 and transported him to Southern Inyo Hospital in Lone Pine for treatment.
