This was a good video to teach why it is important to practice emergency drills. Most people see emergency drills as a waste of time and money- this scenario paints a very different picture. And proper planning and communication is essential.

Grim scenario, brilliantly acted. Cheers!

From forestry I know that sawing trees ain't that hard, it's walking on that damn uneven surface that really wears you down.

In 2005 we didn’t get a helicopter either, freezing rain, we tried to carry him out but he only made it 1/3 rd of the way out before he stopped talking and breathing. Nobody was able to find us in the bush so they had to call search and rescue and even they couldn’t get to us until after 1:30 in the morning after one consultant tried to leave us out there overnight, did I mention we were all indigenous? The four fallers and me the medic. After the guys followed me in with my stretcher and they all left to get help NONE of them came back to help

If you get GPS signal at your location (CHECK, don't assume) small hiking GPS are very light and could pinpoint locations for responders. They weigh very little compared to a radio.

If Scott had been waring his helmet maybe he would have made it. He was "On his way up to see me when he fell and hit his head - " which leads me to think he had removed his helmet as he was hiking, not cutting.

First thing that happens when you stumble is your hard hat flies off

The failures in this plan are horrendous, companies/groups must seriously consider assigning specific locations with specific names/designations, evac plans and rendezvous points, having proper communications devices like a a satellite messenger that will give your location, in addition to competent first aiders. The first aider in this vid did alright considering.

This was a very good video. You guys should make more videos like this one on a different subject.

Maps should be grid maps with coordinates. LandNav is old news and easy to learn. Kids learn in scouting. Pardon the multiple posts but I was interrupted and had to leave my workstation.

That info is so vital, thank you all !

Good actors

another great video, very informative!

"Gentlemen, this man was struck by a UFO." "What's his name?" "Uh... Stefan Michalak; he was uh, burned by an American UFO."

"It took too long..." the assumption would be that he either lost his life or limb.

Haha I watched this on a forestry first aid course in Sterling's, Scotland. 😂

6:49 you know they had some fun

That's pretty accurate with all the little shit that drives you nuts on top of one or two snags in the plan like the helicopter can't fly due to weather.

Is this based on real event?

This is why I always carry a helicopter in the back of the van.

trying to keep cool, etc, is so hard! at least these guys had a sat phone, cell phones, etc...especially being way in the bush, under trees , etc. Yep, its good to practice it, you never know when you will need to do an emergency call

Adrenalin can play havoc with memory. Will GPS locators work in these situations?

I will say that yes, provided you have a clear view of the sky, a GPS 'locator' messenger i.e. Garmin InReach, Spot should likely work, but like the emergency plan, that also must be tested.

It would have been nice to see a soft splint on that leg.

All those actors in the bush...What were they thinking? They all could've been injured or worse.

It's not real

the foreman should remember to be calling mile markers, even in a emergency, people forget, i winessed an equipment fire in camp, everybody was running around in panic, that day there were 2 head ons on the mainline because they forgot normal call in

Also when you speak on radio, speak CLEARLY from the diaphragm. You should sound as clear and precise as a military drill instructor. Most people don't know why military commands are spoken that way. Their normal speech is sloppy which isn't worth a damn if your radio or phone is breaking up.

Exactly, and I'd like to tag onto this to say there's a reason that they use different words "yes" and "no" are short enough a burst of static can obscure them, and they can be surprisingly easy to mix up. "Affirm" and "negative" are far easier to distinguish, note, don't use "affirmative" use "affirm" because if all they get is "----tiv" they will assume you said "negative". Most people only ever deal with relatively good signal, even a "bad" cell phone connection is easily a 5/3 for loudness and readability, when you have volume issues or an even worse connection, it matters! Also, turn up your gain if you must, but attempting to speak louder does no good, you can be screaming your head off into a radio and the loudness will only be as high as the gain is set, all you're doing is making yourself less understandable. Take a deep breath, talk slower than you think you have to. In an emergency it will sound to your own ears like you are speaking laughably slowly, but that's because of adrenaline, speak in as normal a tone of voice as you can manage, quieter than you think you should and slower than you want to, and you will be most readable to the other side.

that's what he gets for not trAining his crew! I hold training and emergency response drills a lot with my crews that way we're all on the same page when it's time to attend an emergency! notice no one checked to make sure the scene was safe too!

Can't here a damn thing 🙉

Emergency plan has some bad bureaucracy. Going through a pile of books to find emergency privatized vehicle numbers and having to skim and scan through a cluttered sheet of paper to find the number? No thanks, i'll just make sure I get the correct location from someone and dial 911.

You can’t call 911 on satellite phones. There are many technical limitations with finding your location from the satellite so it is not possible to be patched to your local Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). You need to know your local numbers to reach the right services and you need to dial the full number with country code.
