TWO BEAR AIR RESCUE SERVICE

TWO BEAR AIR flies out of the Kalispell area, all over Eastern Washington, all of Montana & Idaho and more.
They are equipped with the latest helicopter technology and the most trained and extraction rescue personnel in the business.

Early last year, a hiker was injured, and could not get out on their own or with the other hikers help.
911 was called, and within hours, a helicopter was hovering overhead.
The injured hiker was hauled up to the helicopter thru the trees, and flown to Lookout Pass Ski Area, where there was an ambulance waiting.

First the Shoshone County Sheriff’s office was called for help.
They dispatched three rescue personnel to find us and evaluate the injuries.
The SAR officer called TWO BEAR AIR and explained the circumstances.
Within 1.5 hours, the helicopter was overhead, and the injured person was on the way to get medical help.

Now let me explain something.
When 911 is called, it take many hours to build a rescue team, get to the garage and trailer and snowmobiles, and get to a launch point for the rescue.
If the terrain is rough, it take time to get to the victim on foot.
In the above case, we were only 3 miles from Mullan, but it took over 5+ hours, before the injured party was extracted.
During that time, the others on the hike need to attend to all the victims needs, making sure they don’t get cold or wet. Drink water if it’s not a hazard from the injury,  treat for shock if needed, or stop any bleeding. 
If the victim is or goes unconscious, you need to know exactly what to do. 
First Aid & CPR may be needed.
You and the others on the trip may need to administer CPR.

David and I strongly encourage all of you to take a certified CPR and First Aid course.
All hikers should know, what to do in an emergency.

This scenario , although serious, was not a life threatening, and the victim is already back hiking.

Below are several BLOGS that I have written, that relate to the above story.
PLEASE, read all these url(s) to familiarize yourself with what is needed during a time of an emergency.
They may save you or a hiking partner from undo stress and evacuation perils.

Davis and my goal, is to inform our readers of what precautions that need to go into the planning phase, the actual hike, and any scenario  that may arise.
