A father and son were rescued from a narrow ledge on a mountain in southern Utah after being lost for over 20 hours. The father and son had gone hiking and got stranded when their GPS led them astray. They found a backpack left behind by another hiker with emergency supplies that helped them survive the cold night. The father and son were eventually located by a search and rescue team and airlifted to safety.
The backpack had been left by a teenager who had also gotten lost in the same area a month earlier. The teenager had to be rescued as well and the supplies in his backpack proved to be crucial for the father and son’s survival.
Experts emphasize the importance of proper planning and preparedness when venturing out into wilderness areas. Inexperienced hikers are encouraged to speak to rangers, plan their routes carefully, and always hike in a group. The father and son were lucky to have survived their ordeal due to the supplies found in the backpack.
