What happened?

Words of wisdom

I bought the ACR ResQLink thinking I would never have to use it. But I did – the first time I carried it. I can’t stress enough the value of an ACR PLB or similar device when enjoying the outdoors where there is no cell phone service. Accidents happen. It maybe your only way out! Get one!

Thank you note

I stayed with my arm supporting his neck, not moving him, suspecting he had broken his femur on one side and either his hip or femur on the other. Later, we found he had broken his femur and dislocated his hip on the opposite side.
