Hiking couple rescued in triple-digit heat near Salton Sea

[@VM-oi3dk]

Who in their right mind would hike in one of the hottest deserts in the world?

[@justincase6218]

I can watch. Hiking on 65 in television

[@mopes2713]

Who in the right mind would choose to live in Arizona? But people do it.

[@StonedBarbiee]

Lots of idiots. So now there’s a rumor we have a serial killer 😂 no just dumb tourists

[@StonedBarbiee]

@@mopes2713this isn’t arizona

[@daisymae4327]

This is near or in the Imperial Valley, California. It's 50 miles west of Yuma, Arizona, and 20 miles north of Mexicali, Mexico. I was born and raised there. It sucks balls! It can get about 120 degrees in the summer and 90's at night. I don't understand anyone hiking in the desert. The sky is beautiful to behold at night, tho.

[@ricardobjj24]

People really think they don't need water for these things

[@johndeere3486]

On the plus side, when they got in trouble they called for help instead of dying.

[@l.a.3479]

They had water--not enough, though.

[@JuaneDosesII-wj6dd]

It’s over a 100 let’s hike !

[@mariapilarme]

We hope there’s no fire this year! Thanks for their work.

[@esinohio]

Shew, those kinds of temperatures I'm only hiking over to the AC unit to crank it up.

[@Sabbathissaturday]

Underrated comment. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jumperstartful]

It was 127 in my front yard. Time to go inside!! Tough choice.

[@esinohio]

@@jumperstartful Oh no way! I would combust. Be careful out there.

[@whistlewyouwork]

I live in the desert. I know to not hike when it's 112 degrees. Even when it's "cool", we take PLENTY of water. These people need to be charged for their rescue.

[@StonedBarbiee]

Yes they do because we warn everyone out here and by we I mean EVERYONE in jt

[@stevenalban4441]

I hope the same thing doesn't happen to you and if it happens to you, I hope you pay the ransom. Regards

[@whistlewyouwork]

@@stevenalban4441 I know better than to do that!! People have to have some sense and responsibility for their actions.

[@whistlewyouwork]

@@stevenalban4441 Do you also feel sorry for the people that get close to Bison at Yellowstone to take a photo or ignore the warnings to stay on the boardwalks? There are warnings everywhere. People that ignore the rules tend to spoil things for everyone. Places get closed or access limited because people can't follow basic safety rules. That's why we have to have warnings for sunshades like "Don't drive with the sunshade in place". Would you hike in 112 degrees? If so, I can understand your response.

[@stevemiller1517]

Most of these people do get billed for the rescue.

[@suzz1776]

Who the hell goes hiking in june in this desert. Wtf.

[@diapricea4888]

Rescue crews need to be called to rescue idiots that dont have a clue, no common sense.

[@johndeere3486]

Yes, that is literally the point of rescue crews. Yes the couple was dumb, but they called for help when they needed it. Which is exactly why rescue crews exist. Thank you tax payers for saving some mothers son or daughter, brother or sister, childhood friend. Please spend more of my taxes on helping people and saving lives.

[@Phillipnoogen]

​@johndeere3486 the difference between preventable. These hikers were not prepared to hike in this kind of weather. Rescue crews should be rescuing people for unforseen circumstances like breaking their limbs or rattlesnake bite etc.

[@stevemiller1517]

Common sense is almost extinct.

[@otaku1524]

I know, water's too heavy to pack around when you hike. But it's either you pack water in, or you yourself going to get packed out. One or the other. Pick one!

[@jumperstartful]

tough choice!!! LOL!!

[@claytongross5657]

I lived out there in that desert for almost 3 years, out there near the slabs. Don't go out there unless you really need to. The heat will have people dropping like flys

[@juliaweber212]

Wow obviously people aren't listening

[@myobmyob2215]

Slabcity?

[@johndeere3486]

Good for them for contacting help quickly when the realized they were in trouble

[@VM-oi3dk]

It was 112 in that area today

[@adamantium4797]

Ok

[@beatpirate8]

i cant even be outside when its 90 degress for long before i get a headache. pls dont go i. the heat.

[@jimbochoo3316]

I hike all over southern California. But I pay careful attention to the weather. It is uncomfortably warm for me if the area is more than 73 degrees. I don't like being drenched in sweat and drinking tons of water to keep hydrated. To me, people going hiking when it's above 80 is just insanity.

[@mopes2713]

Why would anyone want to go hiking in hot weather?? I don't even like going for a walk around the block in summer weather.

[@draculastraphouse7863]

When you only put 20 points into intelligence but you have 80 luck

[@rosiecupcake729]

Always check the uv and weather conditions and water

[@juliaweber212]

Thank goodness

[@a.j.carmichael8156]

It’s really stupid to be hiking in a desert area this time of year.

[@MidNightRider2001]

I don't always hike when it's 135F, but when I do, I drink dos gallons.

[@Sabbathissaturday]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@steveryono1112]

the worst part of all this is that you risk other peoples lives...

[@mrs.barbarinaybarra7765]

Gota wear a water camel back packs always just saying

[@stevenwinterhill3623]

Who goes hiking in that weather 🤷🤷

[@markinl.a.4954]

Never bring water on hikes kids.

[@Marrttha]

water?????? for what????? i just need my stupid phone

[@katieking8830]

Why do people hike in triple digit weather? Duh!

[@lauramonfore2549]

Make sense for the choppers to fly in water barrels and water once then check and refill as needed vs flying 3 + times a week to rescue?

[@amyk9397]

yea lets go hiking on an extreme heat warning day because you know, why not

[@joeynyc1000]

They bill. Will be over $35 k to you for that rescue

[@Pewpew-z2q]

I’d actually rather die then get charged with helicopter fee of up to $5,000 🙄 and ambulance about $200+ 💀

[@lzrd8460]

What idiots for hiking in that kind of weather!

[@stevenalban4441]

Albert Einstein is already there

[@AurelioAndrade-b4f]

Man People should know Better Taking a Walk in the Desert 🥵🥵🥵🔥🔥🔥Come on Now Really. Can't do that unless you're a Dessert coyote 🐺🐺🐺🐺🥵🥵🥵🥵

[@XHollisWood]

Mother natures way to thin the Herd 😂

[@CraigBaughan-mg3hf]

If hiking is necessary, salt may be taken by mouth, from a salt shaker over the tongue or clear rock salt as salt tablets, or in solution with baking soda. A back pack canopy may be improvised from two sticks, preferably flexible, placed one in each side of the pack, a shirt and some string to bend the canopy over the head.

[@marybeckham4495]

Hiking? Prepare like a woman going on a trip.

[@frankmacleod2565]

Sexist woman

[@meganhoward8820]

Is that interpreter legit?

[@mariapilarme]

They are satellite phones that you can purchase just in case. Check for weather conditions before you go out.

[@ITSONLYMEWATCHING]

Thank you Jesus they were found.

[@hughjass69702]

They had to have been high AF. Been there but damn didn't need a helicopter 😂

[@l.a.3479]

They didn't have to be.

[@chris323]

Expect that massive bill $$$$

[@ciddy206]

Going to cost them

[@CoffeeeNBears]

Why would you go hiking in this weather? Not very bright

[@Random-rh4gv]

First world problem. Nothing else better to do

[@Avocadomushroom]

Common sense ppl 🙄

[@matthewsteele8448]

Darwin almost got em.

[@StonedBarbiee]

We see this every year here. Nothing new. Everyone is warned every year too no one listens 🙄 tourists that come here are the most disrespectful to locals too.

[@sandilobianco6734]

I’m sorry but the guy using sign language and is distracting.

[@Dadzilla2]

Nice, hopefully they get to pay the stupid taxe?

[@turkey4957]

You gotta be kidding me, I was near the Salton Sea in the first week of April and it was getting unbearable even for light walking and camping and I’m a fit person in late 20s, this is downright insane and laughable to go out there in June. The low elevation Mojave desert is somewhere you never hike from May-September unless it’s the middle of the night with headlamps

[@robotlife2025]

Don't go hiking in the summer in the desert! Go October- March!!!

[@sasham1280]

Why don't people ever learn? Totally preventable

[@mzfitmama2361]

Don’t be ignorant!!! You can’t trust how much water you have, if you slip and break something or jab yourself. Don’t go hiking in any triple digit expected weather. Just don’t.

[@ducngo1966]

Waters bottles? ?

[@nathangonzales2641]

Hope he had a fishing license

[@TheQueensWish]

Ladies if your boyfriend wants to take you out hiking forget it. Tell him to go take a hike with his buddies. Then have a smoothie and get your nails done. Hikes are hot and gross.

[@leenewsom7517]

What state?

[@AubreyRiley]

California

[@annwe6]

Signer was park man part wolf!

[@DonFatherTrump]

Unless you've brought a fremen made stillsuit you probably didn't bring enough water. Bring more.

[@janjaf844]

Watch some I shouldnt be alive shows. There's one on the hike to grand canyon where the youngest died. Feel like you learn lots from their mistakes.

[@JustMe-rq4qj]

Hiking the desert without a shirt and skimpy clothing and wondering why you run out of water.

[@RoughNeckDelta]

I never understood the allure of hiking. If you need exercise there's more efficient activities you can do.

[@thomasrodriguez3176]

Hope they like the ten thousand dollar bill they're going to get.

[@justincase6218]

We should blame. BIDEN for hot weather

[@daveb4194]

They should got the DLC with the extra water. Lol

who tf sees 110 degrees on the weather and thinks oh lets go hiking in a barren dessert canyon with no other source of water then what we can carry?
