This first laser story is out of Colorado. 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: A hunting party in the Colorado Wilderness contacted authorities when 9 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 1: one of their guys didn't return to camp. Scary night 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: was closing in and they were incredibly concerned, seeing that 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: they were camping off trail in a swampy, dense area some. 12 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: Big testicles to pull. This does sound fun. 13 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: The authorities began a scouting mission but couldn't find him. 14 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: Then a black Hawk helicopter took off the next day 15 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: and searched for hours. The crew was about to give 16 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: up when they noticed something. A man with a backpack 17 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: was in a clearing looking up towards the copter, but 18 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: according to the pilot, he wasn't in distress. 19 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: He was just waving high. I got to see. A 20 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 2: helicopter saw that, and they left they left. 21 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: Only problem is that really was the lost hunter. Oh 22 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: Thankfully ground crews were able to find the man. Shortly afterward, 23 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: a helicopter was thrown up a peace sign like, yeah, 24 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: cool man. He was cold and dehydrated, and the reason 25 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: he said he wasn't jumping around when help arrived. 26 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: Was because he was exhausted. Now makes sense. 27 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 3: At least he could wave both arms like. 28 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: Oh, this guy's sleeping, let's not bother him. He just 29 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: passed out. 30 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: The crew thinks the man is at fault, though, saying, 31 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: if you're lost in the woods and a rescue helicopter 32 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: spots to you, don't give a friendly one handed high wave. 33 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: Come on, aggressively move both of your arms above your 34 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: head like your life depends on it. 35 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that acts like you want to be sad.
