Great work to the SAR teams for rescuing the backpacker; we wish the individual a speedy recovery. If you plan to hike up the mountains during the winter, please pack the essentials like water, a fire starter kit, etc., and bundle up and wear the appropriate clothing since it's starting to get chilly since winter is almost here. As always, please be safe out there!
