I don't blame someone for not wanting to be involved in this bullshit corrupted society, but winter in a tent is really tough.

Mountain Rescue: Critical CDFL Rescue at Mt. Cain
Yesterday, Comox Valley Search & Rescue (CVSAR) responded with a critical Class D Fixed Line (CDFL) rescue in the West Bowl of Mt. Cain. A 35-year-old skier suffered a serious fall and was found unconscious. Although the incident occurred outside ski boundaries, the dedicated patrol team at Mt. Cain took immediate action, initiating rescue efforts and preparing for air assistance.
With time being critical, 49 North Helicopters transported members of our team to the scene. Mt. Cain patrol had expertly prepared landing zones for both the rescue helicopter and the air ambulance from Ascent Helicopters. The skier was located on a steep slope and had already been partially stabilized thanks to the efforts of Mt. Cain patrol and a doctor on-site.
Our team completed the packaging and transported the injured skier using an Aerial Rescue Platform in a CDFL operation to the Mt. Cain parking area, where BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) took over care.
This mission demonstrated the incredible collaboration between Mt. Cain patrol, BCEHS, 49 North Helicopters, and Ascent Helicopters. A huge thank you to everyone involved for your skill, speed, and teamwork that made this challenging rescue possible. 💪
Stay safe, adventure responsibly, and always be prepared!
