Want to read daily snippets of SAR stories from around the globe, accompanied by great photos and links to the news articles? Then check out HikerHell.com. I've been following this blog by magazine editor and avid outdoorsman, Brian Quines, since it began more than 1,000 posts ago.Brian, also known as B-Real, writes in his profile, "Over four years ago, I read Touching the Void, and I was always intrigued by situations hikers find themselves in and the incredible things they do to stay alive. This blog is about learning from other people's mistakes, so you don't make the same ones."
Stories from just this past week include:
"Skier Falls 150 meters" from Austria’s Brobglockner
"Hiker Survives 6 Days in Wilderness" near Big Sur, California
"Lost Backcountry Snowboarder Found" in Garibaldi Provincial Park, near Whistler, Canada
"Boy Dies in 1,900-Foot Fall" in California's San Emigdio Mountains
"Hiker Rescued From Steep Slope" on Cave Rock, near Lake Tahoe
"Three Young Brothers Rescued From Canyon" in Rock Canyon, Utah
