Great video man. I wish SAR would make a report after bodies are found with some information as to how they assume it happened. I think myself and the public can learn alot from these cases.

@lifeofluke 15 сағат бұрын
Yeah, I agree, the first incident that comes to mind is the Mt. Atwell 3 missing climbers and subsequent month long search and eventual retrieval of the bodies last spring. There was so many questions there as to what happened. Every one of these incidents, although unfortunate, is an opportunity to learn from others mistakes so as not to repeat them.

I often wonder when my buddy and I would just up and leave on weekend adventures in the backcountry of Whistler what could have happened. I mean back in the early 90’s there was nothing but sheer wilderness and little to no tech. We had a concept of a route and no maps, relying on memory alone as we were too poor to buy proper topo maps to bring with us. We were young and dumb, full of energy and little common sense, and rarely told friends of our destination and eta. So hats off to those search and rescue men and women who risk their lives and health for the lost, injured and missing. For it could have been me, but my card wasn’t drawn that day.

@@lifeofluke You make a good point, and it’s a tough one to figure out. The terrain described in the article from The Squamish Chief (Aug. 25, 2010) sounds absolutely brutal: steep slopes, cliffs, dense vegetation, and fast-moving water. They found Tyler’s footprints in the creek bed near Bull Canyon and signs of a 15-meter slide path where may've tried to climb out but slipped. From there, he might have been swept further downstream, buried under debris, or ended up somewhere so remote that even SAR crews couldn’t reach it. Predation is definitely a possibility too, given the grizzlies in the area, but it’s strange that no remains or even personal items like clothing or gear were ever found.

Interesting and likely tragic. I hope some answers eventuate for the families. I haven't done extensive hiking like yourself, but certainly enough to know that it is hard to underestimate the natural risks posed by wilderness. The remoteness compounds such risk. When hiking alone, I tend to do less risky things, as even a sprained ankle far from help could pose a serious hazard to returning. My tenants in Kaslo had an incident that may have proved fatal if they were more remote or alone. The male in a couple had instinctively tried to protect his dog from a falling off an edge, only to fall and break his own collarbone on the nearby bottom. Had his wife not been a nurse or not been there at all, it may ended with dire results. Thanks for the vids.

A great video! Cool to see people documenting this seldom visited region. I don't want the viewers to get the wrong impression. The Fool's Gold Route gets way more difficult further on. There is full high quality lidar coverage of the Upper Pitt region so one can use a program like QGIS to get a better idea of what lies ahead. If you don't know how to use GIS software, you can alternatively Google "arcgis terrain with labels", which is a medium quality multidirectional hillshade online map layer. This will give a great perspective of how rugged the route is. Nearly the entire route is available on OpenStreetMap but one will need to browse the raw data to see it and the associated metadata. From a trail building perspective, the route layout is atrocious. The Western Canadian Wilderness Committee basically chose the hardest, least maintainable, and least interesting route possible. The only section I would ever recommend to anyone is the old logging road from Pitt Lake up to DeBeck Falls. Ian McArthur has documented this section and others in his presentations that are available on the Burke Mountain Naturalists (BMN) KZbin channel.

I was near there in around June 2010 with my Prospecting partner. we took off from Vancouver headed to Pemberton area up over the divide toward Bralorne And Gold Bridge. we were there for about 2 days and nights. I swear I kid you not. our first night we camped right beside the Closed Pioneer mine site. I was sleeping in my Astro-van which had the back seats removed it had smoked windows all around The Van was painted Gold colour fitting that we were on a Gold Prospecting trip and my Prospecting Partner Barry was sleeping in his 4 wheel drive Nissan. I'm a BCIT Certified Prospector having taken some courses at BCIT in Burnaby. My profile picture is of me in a Helicopter while I was working for Rich River Explorations out of Gindrod BC. On the night in question I was asleep in the back of my van. I was sleeping in my heavy sleeping bag, wearing a T-shirt and had my arms out of the sleeping bag. I think it was a moonless night as far as I can remember. I'll have to say it was probably around 2am, but I'm not certain. I was awoken to the feeling of a fly landing on my forearm twitching some hairs on my arm. I immediately woke up and sat up in Pitch-black. I began to hear a far off distant sound that was really strange it sounded like a faint Amplifier Hum pulsating from quiet to louder and was getting louder and louder as if it was approaching While I heard this sound all the hairs on my body and under my shirt felt like they were swaying back and forth with the sound. It was akin to hearing an emergency vehicle approaching with the siren on that's the best way to describe it. within 2 seconds I knew what it was because it couldn't have been anything else at the end of a Forest Service Road around 2am. I heard it approach, I'd have to say it flew overhead and off into the distance. My best guess is that it lasted around 20 to 30 seconds. At the 2 second mark I was scrambling to look for my video camera in the dark. I didn't want to turn on my van lights in fear of attracting unwanted attention of my presence. I sleep in my van because I was always afraid of being eaten by Bears let alone be Abducted By Aliens. Yes this is what I think it was. I think they were Mineral Explorers as well. whether there were Alien Beings on board or not I don't know, perhaps it was a Drone Craft using the electromagnetic frequency to scan the ground for minerals. I believe it isn't too far fetched that Aliens are scanning the planets for minerals on a Massive Scale. I was scared of being abducted myself that night. I'm not saying this is what happened to these people but almost anything is possible these days. I have told this story many times online. I even reported it to MUFON but they deleted it because I didn't see anything. I just heard it and felt the electromagnetic effects on the hairs on my body. That's my story. Believe it or not I don't care. Nice videos luke. If I were a younger man I'd still be exploring the backcountry of BC. In my profile picture I was 42, I'm now almost 60 in February. I have some videos on my channel of some of my adventures, but I'm not here to promote them. Be careful out there folks, eyes are watching you.

Hiking in 2010 with no GPS in that wilderness is a death sentence if you're not an expert navigator
@jondevaney6860
@jondevaney6860 5 күн бұрын
Wrong. Being an adequate navigator, with a map and compass, would probably be enough. GPS units are not foolproof - batteries run out, and GPS units can get lost or destroyed (fall into lakes or down cliffs). I have 50 years of hiking experience, a lot of it off trail (thanks to my geology field work projects): map and compass bushwacking in northern Ontario boreal forest; forest walks by map (compass rarely needed) in south and north British Columbia; and summers spent mountain hiking in alpine tundra of the Arctic Islands. Most of this was done before GPS units were available, and I was an expert navigator. Besides navigation skills, being fit (endurance, agility, balance, coordination), healthy, and well nourished (hydrated, adequate carbohydrate intake) contribute to avoiding problems on difficult hikes. Knowing your route and terrain (from guidebooks, etc.) is obviously important. Accidents can happen though, even to the well prepared - experience helps in coping with bad events.

Yeah, that totally looked like a boxer! That's an awesome plaque for Tyler. It's so easy to disappear or get lost in the forests we have. That is why I carry my Zoleo with me out there. It's not a guarantee of rescue, but it's certainly a good safety piece to have. We've had a number of people go missing on Vancouver Island. I always keep my eye out when I'm in the woods to see if there is anything that may be them or anything that looks out of place out there. Search and Rescue do a great job and it's nice to have them. It's good that you're telling these stories. It lets people know to be more careful out there.
