I discovered this channel a couple of weeks ago when it came up on my feed. As an avid hiker and backpacker, I really appreciate Rescue 9 and all the Sheriff and SAR units out there, though I hope I never need to call for one. It would be nice if a brief description was included to get a better understanding of what triggered the need for a rescue.

This was a call for rescue due to two hikers who ran out of water. They were at least 4 hours away from the trail head.

Thank you! Willie is a great guy.

Thank You Riverside County Sherrifs Department For All You Do.

Once you are out in the back country. The moment you say to yourself "I think I am in trouble....." You are already past trouble and you need to affect self-rescue, in whatever means you have. Thankfully these ladies had cell service or a beacon. I have been on the receiving end of (2) ambu rides before due to back issues. I have never felt so embarrassed, in my life......those medics though, just like these air rescue crew. They know how to identify with a person and deescalate the patient/victim from internalizing what is going on and break the trauma thought process. The "Take in the view!!" was just that. He was breaking that destructive thought process that was escalating in her mind. Riverside County Deputies are awesome.

Wow! Did they have water? Not good to do that without being fully equipped! Great flying pilot, steady & strong! Keep up your great work. ❤ from me in South Africa 🇿🇦

Super cool to see. First this has come up on my feed.. makes me 3,361st-ish subscriber!! The calls will keep coming and I hope the videos do to. Thanks for all you guys do! ❤️

Great job everyone 👍👍

Doing great work folks. Wonder if they were lost or just exhausted.

At 2:08 it sounds like he says "who's the one who's not feeling so good?" and the woman points to herself. So, I'm guessing they were at the onset of some medical emergency (heat stroke / dehydration / etc)

Yes, in cases like this, they were out of water and dizzy. Six miles into the hike with at least 4 more hours to go at best to get back. Sometimes we have do the math and make the decision for them based on the circumstances. Better to call it a day based on their ages, heat, and the fact that they called for a reason. Sometimes people just feel overwhelmed by the massive response of a helicopter having to come rescue them. Some people feel guilty and feel that it is just way too much for their situation. One of them even said, “can you just give us some water and let us finish?“ I wish it were that simple.

That is one steady high hover!! Or, is there a GPS and altitude hold? Not drifting a hover at altitude is an art! Thanks for the FPV's... Great communications between the team too! P.S. I hope they have good insurance or lots of $$ in the bank... These rescues are not cheap!

Hi thank you. Yes in the H145 there is a GPS based hover hold and we use it mostly since we have to hoist about 150', and when you have no reference next to you, only straight down, it takes a monumentally good pilot to not drift at least a couple feet!

Fairly regular occurrence for the area. Hikers are inexperienced and ill equipped. Another good job by RSD.

In other words, they’ll take bigger wrists, thinking they can always call and get help… And put first responders in danger

I can't tell if these are on both rear sides of the skids or just on the hoist side, but what are those things that either look like small "horns" or lights? Just curious.. Don't recall seeing them before on our StarFlight helicopters here in Austin, Texas.. Thanks.. And again, great video!

@Hook-in-hand

Those sound like the scene lights. Two powerful lights that light up the work space of the rescue specialist on the ground at night.

I'm curious; why the hoist op? Terrain looks suitable for a one-skid landing...less exposure to all involved.

@Hook-in-hand

5 күн бұрын

Hi thank you. Hoist op is actually much more predictable and safer. The terrain in this case was not suitble for landing or one-skid. The video can be deceiving. The issue with a one-skid in our helicopter is the tremendous downwash of the main rotor. We prefer to hoist and properly brief up the patient beforehand. A one-skid has the potential for a patient slipping and we cannot 100% control them onboarding. We will do one-skids with our personnel where appropriate because they have the training and repetition to know what to expect and how/where to step and so forth. That's certainly not the only way to do things, just our thinking and risk mitigation.

@@Hook-in-hand Ah gotcha, thank you for your rapid response! Back in the late 80's I flew N Model UH-1's (Bell 212) for MCAS Yuma SAR. At the time we were the only hoist equipped helo in the state, as such we had opportunity to operate in a broad spectrum of locales/terrain. Though I loved a good technical hoist or shorthaul, we typically only used those means of extraction as a last resort. Now I know more than once my decision disappointed our fearless Navy Corpsmen; they took it personal when I robbed them of a rappel or a chance to "surf the Stokes"! Thanks for what you do...I miss it!

How did they request help? Is there cell phone coverage in that area? Way back when I used to hike I got a amatuer radio license and bought a 2M HT for the purpose of emergency communication in remote areas. How often do you guys get a request for rescue that way?

PSA: most newer iPhone models can send pre-written emergency text via satellite connection. It’s done through the normal process of holding the combination of side buttons to initiate an emergency call.

That was what a $$$ 25,000 rescue looks like

Actually, our helicopter has a total operating cost, including fuel and wages, of $1, 080/hr. This took just over an hour to do. Thanks for watching!

I think nowadays with cell phones… It gives everyone a false security

How do you become a crew member for this specific unit?

@Hook-in-hand

6 күн бұрын

Hi thank you! All of the crew are selected from experienced deputy sheriffs on patrol or special teams. So one has to become a deputy first and have at least 4 years patrol experience, pass an interview with scenario questions, then score high on a practical flying evaluation.

Awesome rescue..

At 2:10 & 6:21. I have played this a few times to see if these two ladies had day packs? And it does not seem that they had. Or did I miss them? No water, minimum 3 litres + per person, = 6 lbs, as per conditions for a day hike . No rations, no extra clothing for over nighting if caught out. No First Aid Kit. No Maps, Compass, Nav gear? Walking Poles. Head torches etc? And your own backup system! Your route on a map. Time out, time back. This is left with someone who can help as per the above. But at least they had a Cell Phone. This is really not clever. The mountains are full of dead humans some even well equipped. So why push you luck. Kind regards, and Greetings from Africa.
