Dad and Son Survive Overnight on a Cliff After Finding Survival Backpack #shorts
154A father and his 12-year-old son were rescued by helicopter from a steep cliffside in Utah’s Snow Canyon State Park on February 17, as shown in a video released by the state’s Department of Public Safety.
According to the department, the pair became lost while hiking and were trapped overnight.
Officials said crews worked through the night and into the early morning hours until the helicopter crew located the two stranded on a shallow ledge and hoisted them to safety.
“In a twist of fate, the hikers found a backpack left behind by another hiker previously rescued from the same area. Inside were food, water, and emergency blankets that the two were able to utilize,” the Utah Department of Public Safety said.
