The 78 -year -old Scout Scout TOOP 26, a 78 -year -old, is a former scout eagle, as he was fighting low body temperature after losing his equipment and toured 15 miles from his intended way in Sierra Nevada in California, according to multiple media reports.
The Santa Barbara Independent newspaper reported that nine members of the 26 forces, at the age of 12, were in the middle of the road to their invasion in the wilderness of the migrants with Scoutmaster Michael Hey and four other adult leaders.
The forces, each carrying 40 lbs, started on their journey on August 2, and transported their way around the alpine lakes and crossed the promoters while learning all the skills that are taught to generations of scouts from them.
The man, who was now identified as Douglas Montgomery, had set out on a two -week trip on a two -week back. Days before the forces appeared, put his bag that contains his food, water, camping equipment and communications that support GPS so that he can walk a little and get a better idea of the place where the road was, SFGATE mentioned.
When the scouting eagle of the 10 forces in Burlingami returned to where he believed that he had put his bag, he could not find him.
“I reviewed, examined, examined, looked and looked at,” he said Independent. “It was very concerned that I was not able to find it. But I just had to make a decision at the last minute to stop searching and getting where I could save my life, and that’s what I did.”
While lost without food, water and other necessities, Montgomery had covered himself in silt and trees and tried to sleep in cold temperatures.
He added: “I complained of a cold loudly several times,” screaming from the dark. “
Drink what water can find from the pools.
It was not until August 6, as the forces ran 26 through Montgomery in Marj at a high altitude, as he told Scoutmaster Sfgate that the 78 -year -old seemed to be struggling.
“We started to realize very quickly that he was not well,” he said. “He was really looking for a bottom. He got discounts all over his hands. He is very unstable on his feet, and he is polite, but he came out of him.”
I noticed that Montgomery had difficulty walking, and Hi said that he had received some electrolytes and food in the 78 -year -old and helped him warm up. However, when he learned that Montgomery had gone several days without the necessary medications that were in his backpack, the decision was taken to contact the authorities.
CHP officials said he was notified by the Sharif office of Toulouin Province of the situation, and that the decision eventually taken to fly a helicopter from Fresno and raised the 78 -year -old air to safety.
During the waiting period for three hours until the rescue helicopter is created, Hey and children have prepared a reference menu for the information that the first respondents of Montgomery, including his emergency connections and medical history, learned all young scouts actually how easy anyone, and even the eagle scouts, in the wilderness.
“They have really seen the useful use of these things when you face a problem, all preparation and you have some navigation tools with you and know the way the north, and how it is important to have a plan,” said Hey the Norcal outlet.
Chp Montgomery was transferred to a package in Kennedy Meadow, where he rejected any additional medical assistance and was met by his sister’s daughter who brought his car.
The 78 -year -old, an old naval warrior, said he always loves to ride helicopters.
“I entered the year 84 Volvo and went home the next morning,” he told the Santa Barbara port.
