Transcript

00:00A rescue mission in the Colorado wilderness nearly failed when a man who got separated

00:12from his hunting party was almost overlooked by the search team who mistook his calls for

00:18help. Emergency services were contacted when someone from a hunting party didn't return

00:23to their camp. The hunting party was staying in the woods between Surprise Lake and Upper

00:28Cataract Lake in northern Colorado. Flight for Life immediately launched a quick scouting

00:33mission but couldn't locate the missing man. They called for an on-foot search by seven

00:37members of the rescue group. Crews divided up and searched the trails around where the

00:42area was the lost man they thought was. Soon thereafter, the pilot spotted someone they

00:49believed could have been the missing man. He's saying hi, though, the pilot said, so he doesn't

00:56seem to be in distress. I don't think this is the guy. So they left.

01:01Oh, wait. So I'm just like, hey, oh, God, thanks for coming to rescue me, but I look too

01:06happy. Okay, so we've learned something. We've learned something. If you see a helicopter,

01:12you better and you need to be saved. You better really jump around and pilots maybe check just

01:19to see, like, it's the only human being you saw from the first hour of your search.

01:23It's on the helicopter.

01:26I think he's saying hi to you. He's always like, hey, have you seen a guy?

01:31That's pretty dumb.

01:33It's me. I'm the guy.

01:34Hey, hi, hello. Hi there.

01:36Oh, he's too happy.

01:37Oh, he's just saying hi.

01:39Oh, man.

01:39That's not a guy.

01:41He'd pretty quickly become unhappy.

01:43Hello. Wait. Wait.

01:45Yeah.

01:46Where are you going? Hello.

01:48Time to sleep in the woods, Dave.

01:49So mad.

01:50Luckily for that guy and everyone else involved, the ground crews located him shortly after

01:56the helicopter took off.

01:58All right.

01:59But they say the situation should teach everyone if you're lost in the woods, you need to know

02:05the proper way to signal for help. It's not, oh, hey there.

02:08Hi.

02:09Yeah.

02:10It's not that.

02:11No.

02:11What do you do?

02:12I would double wave.

02:13Get on your knees and wave aggressively.

02:16You know.

02:18They're putting it on this guy.

02:20I know.

02:21Yeah, they are. They're putting it on the guy.

02:23I can't believe that.

02:23They say what you should do, Lisa, is wave aggressively both arms over your head back and forth over

02:30and over again. Like here, over here, over here. Or wave a brightly colored piece of clothing.

02:37Something to say, I'm the person you're looking for.

02:41Ah, yeah.

02:42A white, a bright piece of clothing.

02:44Yes, a bright piece of clothing.

02:46It's tough.

02:46If you have it.

02:47Yeah, because I have all camo.

02:48It's all on you, people.

02:49Wear bright underwear. You can rip them off and wave them at all.

02:51That's a great strategy.

02:52That is a great.

02:53I got some man thonglings I can send them.

02:55Finally figured out how to get out of all those camping trips with my wife. Thanks for the tip, Dave.

03:01When you see me waving my arms in here, I'm just practicing for the helicopters.

03:04Over here. Over here.

03:07You picked them up.

03:08I think that if I did need to be rescued, though, I would do this.

03:12This one.

03:13I don't think I would do this.

03:13That's like the international symbol of it.

03:16Yeah.

03:16I see that in movies and stuff.

03:18Wouldn't wave.

03:19He was way too calm about it all.

03:22He was just like, hey, guys.

03:23Yeah.

03:24Maybe he was weak.

03:26You're right.

03:26Oh, I don't know.

03:27Yeah.

03:28Imagine one of your arms is injured or whatever, and they're like, oh, no, forget it.

03:34Yeah.

03:35He doesn't care enough.

03:36It's kind of like when Dave would give away prizes on our show, and people would be like, oh, wow.

03:42Oh, yeah.

03:44Yeah.

03:44Oh, great.

03:45Nickelback tickets.

03:46Awesome.

03:47Thanks, man.

03:49I don't think anything made you more mad at that time.

03:51No, I don't think.

03:52I don't think so.

03:53No, for some reason, that really burned my biscuits.

03:56It really did.

03:56It did.

03:57And I could see.

03:58You just won $1,000.

04:00I can't even imagine.

04:01And somebody would be like, oh, that's nice.

04:03Cool.

04:03Yeah.

04:04Okay, man.

04:04I mean, I should have realized half of them were stoned, so their reaction wasn't going

04:08to be amazing.

04:09But I just, if you were Captain Dave, and you're flying in this, and you're like, mm,

04:15he's not, you know what?

04:16He's not happy enough for us to rescue.

04:19No.

04:20No, we're not coming down there.

04:21We're not coming down there.

04:22I mean, do you really want to rescue or not?

04:23Do you want us to be down there?

04:25Are we going to just leave there?

04:28Sorry, you son of a bitch.

04:30Hell, but I really need to be rescued.

04:32No, yeah, right, you son of a bitch.

04:34No, like, furry, I'm lost.

04:36Whatever, loser, we're going to fly until we find someone who really wants to be saved.

04:39That's me.

04:40I really want to be saved.

04:42I don't know how else to signal that.

04:43Oh, yeah, because you look like you want to be saved, waving one arm.

04:46My other arm is broken.

04:48I fell.

04:49I don't know that I can actually lift it.

04:51It hurts really bad.

04:52Please.

04:52I don't care what he's saying right now.

04:53Come save me.

04:54He doesn't look enthused at all.

04:56I think I hear bears.

04:57Let's go find someone who's enthused.

04:58Mountain lions.

04:58Can somebody please?

05:00Throw a rope down, and I can hold onto it with my arm.

05:02Fly away.

05:03No, please.

05:04Oh, why are they leaving?

05:05Oh, my God.

05:06Why?

05:07Why have they forsaken me?

05:09If you, if Captain Dave is up there, you better react.

05:15You better.

05:15That's clearly who they were dealing with.

05:18I covered that in my scout book.

05:21The proper way to signal a rescue helicopter.

05:23No.

05:24Real panic.

05:24I need to see real panic.

05:25That's it.

05:26And real relief that we're there for you.

05:28Exactly.

05:28You don't show me that.

05:29Good luck.

05:31You're on your own.

05:32Yep.

05:33Jackass.

05:34Jackass.

05:35Captain Dave gets awards for, like, keeping so many funds in the account because he just

05:40ignores so many rescues.

05:42So many people die in that forest.

05:44Not my fault.

05:46Search a rescue budget.

05:47We are, like, we are balanced.

05:48Yeah.

05:49You really want it.

05:50You'll get to act like it.

05:52We are balance.

05:52But we're not.

06:08We are, like, we are.

06:08We're just going to answer.

06:09We're good.

06:10We're going to get to you.

06:10We're going to ask, like, keep on.

06:11We're going to do soccer.

06:12We're going to happen.

06:12We're going to beелен.

06:13We're going to go.

06:14We're going to be one of the other.

06:15We're going to be in a first place.

06:16Thanks for the feedback.
