Lost hiker near Pine Mountain Club, air unit is on scene (maybe ground units as well). 7/4/25 2026 #SearchAndRescue #SAR #VenturaCounty #VCFD
Fuck me… another one. I hope he’s found and okay. If he is and didn’t take a PLB, I have questions.

ABC News · Search continues for missing hiker Christopher Moore in bushland near Nowra
Hmm, if someone has 3m/px PlanetScope access, could be helpful for that missing woman near Mt. Waterman, California. (I don't have real time access, only archive access) #remoteimaging #gis #SearchAndRescue #SAR #AngelesNF
From Montrose SAR (earlier this morning)
Montrose Search & Rescue Team (Ca.)
"Day 6 – The search for Monica Reza continues in the Mount Waterman area. SAR teams from San Diego to Tulare County have joined the mission to help bring her home. We’re grateful for their tireless efforts. #FindMonicaReza #MontroseSAR #MutualAid
"Please avoid the search area. Uncoordinated hikers can interfere with tracking, delay progress, or create new emergencies. We also have enough food & supplies at this time. Thank you for supporting trained teams. #StayClearForSafety #SAR #AngelesNationalForest"

My lessons learned were:
- Pay attention to the same weather and check forecast before heading out
- Bring enough water for a 16 mile trail (which turned into 20+). I needed at least four liters, I brought two
- Have redundant medication, map, compass, and gps (if you have one)
- Don't trust others' stated expertise or knowledge of a trail that you have not walked before
- Do not be overconfident in your abilities

No current imagery of the area that person is in. $759 for new imagery, but the time will be 2-3 days (or longer) to acquire, which is not great when you've been missing for 3 days. That said, there is water at the bottom of the canyon, you won't starve to death as long as you stay hydrated and don't hurt yourself. You might locate someone if they are smart enough to be out in the open with reflective/bright colors. (ps. tip: BRING AN EMERGENCY BLANKET WITH YOU HIKING ALL THE TIME... Can't miss it from a helicopter) #SearchAndRescue #SAR #hiking #Waterman #AngelesNF

Here's one of the typical places people go wrong... Instead of turning left on the trails back towards the road, they end up going past the trail and down into the canyon on the right. The guy I located from his selfie, and I have at least two others (maybe 3?) marked... one was an Eagle Scout and went all the way left and survived, the other was a fatality. There are probably others. The hard part for crews (and hikers) is it is a big area, not easy to be seen in the trees, can't hear people. #Waterman #SearchAndRescue #SAR #hiking

Likely this lost hiker is in the bottom of one of these canyons. Though potentially stuck on a cliff, it's easy to start heading downhill here and get mired in rough country with no way up an no way down. #waterman #SearchAndRescue #SAR #hiking
Oooh, someone else lost where I found that hiker last time....
There's a spot where everyone takes a right instead of a left, and then ends up lost down several canyons.

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who get into trouble while hiking. And it's always a case of “didn't check the weather”, “didn't have layers/food/water/a PLB”, “overestimated their capabilities”.
It's not as if there isn't a reasonably well established set of considerations and gear people should use when going hiking. It's not like doing a quick circuit of Centennial Park…

The Trek · They Trusted ChatGPT To Plan Their Hike — And Ended Up Calling for Rescue - The Trekwo hikers were rescued this spring from the fittingly named Unnecessary Mountain near Vancouver, Canada after using ChatGPT and Google Maps to plan their route and finding themselves trapped by unexpected snow partway up. The incident has served as a reminder of the limitations of artificial intelligence when it comes to real-world outdoor navigation. The pair, wearing only flat-soled sneakers, were caught off guard by the lingering snowpack on the mountain’s peaks, a common condition in the Vancouver region well into spring. ...
