FREMONT COUNTY, Idaho (KIFI/Fremont County Search & Rescue Release) – Two hunters were able to call 911 when they became disoriented while hunting in the Pine Canyon area of Fremont County on Friday, November 1st.
Fremont County Dispatch was able to track both men’s phones and direct Fremont County Search and Rescue (FCSAR) members along with Fremont County officials to them.
Teams used side by side to get as far as possible and walked the rest of the way to their location.
Fremont County Search and Rescue reminds anyone who enjoys summer/fall recreational activities, whether hunting, fishing, camping, boating, ATVing, trail riding, biking, hiking, and more.
· Pay close attention to your location when vacationing in Fremont County. Watch for landmarks etc. that could potentially help rescuers find you.
· If you have a GPS, cell phone, FRS radio, etc., be sure to take them with you, but don’t rely entirely on them for safe rescue if you find yourself in trouble or stranded. Locate the emergency conduit for the area, if available. Make sure all members of your group are watching the same channel when you’re with a group.
· Use extreme caution whether hunting, fishing, hiking and/or water related activities. Fremont County has many canyons, hills, ravines, etc. and one can quickly become disoriented and confused. The county’s many waterways are unpredictable and sometimes potentially dangerous, and can quickly turn an enjoyable activity into a disaster.
· Take the necessary equipment, survival gear, etc. when venturing into the countryside. Dress appropriately for your activities.
· Plan ahead. Make sure you know the area you’re heading to before heading there. If possible, avoid participating in activities without a friend or companion. Tell someone where you are going and stick to that plan, narrow down the area and most of all let someone know WHERE you plan to go and WHEN you are due back! If you get into trouble, stop, look around, make mental notes or write them down in relation to any features or landmarks that would help you in your rescue. Do not go further unless you are in danger. The further you go, the more complicated and dangerous it is to save yourself, making rescue operations more difficult and dangerous.
