Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts should become a requirement. Sure, it's a little cheesy when you're a kid, but you learn the basics of how to take care of yourself in the wilderness. How to make a fire, hunt, tie knots, create a shelter, cook, etc. There may come a time when we don't have the luxuries we have today and we won't be able to look up how-to's on KZread. It's important to have a basic set of skills/knowledge just ensure you and your families survival in the event of a catastrophe.

You did the number one thing, and that was to stay! And then think, and then ask for help. Way to keep your emotions in check and be prepared to wait the weather out.

Lots of tourists come out to Colorado and go Into the Wilderness completely unprepared, and many die! FYI, you won't hear about this on the news. I lived in the Aspen area for 20 years, and I was shocked that so many stories were suppressed. My own son had to be rescued from the backcountry when he was 14 when it snowed heavily and his group didn't get back home on time. But we knew where they were, their route, and they knew how to survive. They were coming down the trail, just slowly, and they were exhausted. Thank you, Aspen Mountain Rescue!

Always check the weather, and prepare accordingly. Also always tell someone your plan, so if you don’t show up, they know where to start looking.

I was hopping deep into the ocean cause that’s the only way I could not drown, so jump up and go down hard to get to the sand so you can jump up hard and take a deep breath and repeat, so I was pretty far in the ocean, not that much since I was kid, most likely 9 or younger, but still pretty far, and I would have kept going, if when the last time I pushed myself down I felt nothing. Pure fear went through my body at the idea I was at a cliff in the ocean and all the predators that weren’t close to the shore are probably there. Immediately when that happened I swam back to the shore, never went deeper then my chest ever again after that. When I think about it my feet start to tingle.

As an avid kayaker, I always check-in with paddle boarders with “Did you start upwind or downwind today?” They usually look at one another like: “I dunno…” First-time paddle boarders at launch often start by heading downwind first because it’s a nice free assist, but then they get pinned or pushed back when they turn around.

Thank you for sharing this!

I wish everyone would put there pride aside. Safety & being prepared always has to be priority.

You did fine, your safe and that's all that matters.

Bring these 10 essentials on every day trip. Things can go wrong and you may need to camp overnight

Look how dark the sky is. That is always the first clue to get to safety

Arguably more important than success stories

Nothing to be embarrassed about sister. You packed prepared and sometimes shit happens. What an adventure glad you're safe❤

I noticed as soon as I saw the water and sky at the beginning of your video that you were going to run into trouble. Then the time you spent on the island further endangering you and your pup. Always watch the sky and water, and keep an eye on your time. Even in Summer I have a rule of breaking camp by 3:30-4, 2:00 during summer rainstorm time. Not worth the risk. Life is meant to enjoy. Example: A dear friend of mine and I, both of us fit, he having been a mountain water baby his entire life; me grew up in the mountains then down to the coast, surfed, taught sailing, rowing and canoeing on the ocean growing up. We went canoeing up Green River Lakes, WY, portaged, then crossed the second (first) lake, had lunch and headed back. At the onset, I’d tried to warn him to turn back earlier as a cross wind was bound to come up, and he blew me off since he’d canoed there over 40 years. I warned him again about current and wind changes common anywhere after 2:00-4:00, especially at higher elevation, and he said he ALWAYS had a wind to his back on return to the boat ramp area. Well…..needless to say, there was such strong cross and front winds on the main lake, that boaters, jet skiers, paddle boarders and kayakers were ALL up on the E side of the lake, trapped at various places, looking exhausted. We dug in deep, water coming over the front and sides of the canoe at times from the waves yes waves that came up from wind and cross currents, and I remember being halfway across, looking to the W and E shores and realizing if we capsized, the current was pulling to the rocky W shore and the E too difficult to swim to, let alone the low water temp. I would have been screwed, especially with no thyroid (think no thermostat). I started to get scared, calmed myself, then used that energy. I hunkered down deeper into the canoe, and kept digging while my friend did the same while steering bless his heart. People on the shore were watching us, on the ramp with binoculars, and were shocked when we finally made it. As was I. My arms were rubber for two days. 🛶🏔️💦🌬️
