SAR on Panther Trail

Unread post by dave »

The following information is from the DEC:

Ulster County - Town of Shandaken - Slide Mountain Wilderness

Dehydrated Hiker: On September 5, 2016 at 11:25 a.m., DEC Rangers received a call from Ulster County 911 asking for help with the rescue of a 24 year-old man from Bronx, NY. The man was hiking the Giant's Ledge Panther Kill trail and became ill. Three DEC Rangers hiked to where the man was, while a fourth Ranger remained at the command post for communications. The Rangers determined that the hiker was dehydrated. He was given water and food and lead down the trail to a place where the Claryville Fire Dept. had a Utility Task Vehicle waiting to take him out of the woods. At approximately 2:40 p.m. he was evaluated by EMS personnel from the Town of Shandaken and released.
