What have you ever done to help an injured hiker?
a couple of years ago I started a flip-flop. Several days in I was standing above Penn Marr and the rock tipped and I fell about 4 feet and tore my rotator cuff. I got up and over but could not carry my pack. So I called and asked to find someone to help me hike out. 911 was willing to send a full team, nothing less. So I finally set up camp for the night. The next morning as I was striking camp 3 day hikers came by on a day hike from Pen Mar to Harpers Ferry. Still could not handle my pack with only 1 arm. 1 person carried my pack another carried his pack. the 3rd hiked behind me. Up to the parking lot in short order. Took a while to get to town and the hospital for Xrays. It took about 9 months for the shoulder to heal. It's good now. Maybe those 3 know who they are and I will thank then again.
Has any sort of such thing happened to you? injured or rescue .
Thanks ever so much!!
