Hey guys, let's go hiking to the highest peak in LA County in 90 degree weather with little to no experience and very little water. What could go wrong?
@Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho "It's not that bad dude." Except for the students that needed to be rescued.
@Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho that's true stuff does happen. Theirs this trail by where I live called poop out, it's only maybe 1000ft+ elevation and only about a mile long. And I seen someone have to get rescued out by the chopper. Accident will always happen no matter where you at :p
@Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho It means much when they are on limited resources of food and water, dumbass.
She emd up pregnant
No need to be Negative ☝️
They look like they broke up during the hike lol
loll
Thank God the news crew spotted them and gave an account until they were safe. For the sheriff's dept for rescuing them including that other hiker. Kudos to you.
Parents won’t be happy to receive the bill for the helicopter
The bill for the helicopter and all the SAR teams called out. Non-residents get a bill now.
👀Wait you get charged to be rescued in America 👀
Haha the school district needs to be ready for that lawsuit 🤣🤣🤣
@@greyalien295 Sometimes. Depending on the location but in some you do get billed if you're not a resident (tax payer) of that area.
They only get billed if they knowingly broke the rules by hiking in an area where they are not allowed. Skiers and snowboarders who intentionally go into areas where there are signs that prohibit skiing and snowboarding will get billed for their rescue.
When you think your more adventurous than you really are…
Lol!!! Awe...... 🤣😭
When you think you're far more literate than you are.
@@FuhqEwe when you think that being a smartass on CZcams makes you better than you really are
@@Bearedd You're projecting.
Glad they got rescued 🚁 looks hot 🥵
Field trip for school 🤔
How did they got separated and why only two were left behind? Yeah, they were not prepared and organized, if you are with a group you stick with them!!
They were safer hiking Mt. Baldy in those conditions than they would have been if they decided to walk around Venice beach.
They both look detached from the drama. Better planning next time, guys.
The volunteer was more of a "rescuer" than the pd, he didnt even try and keep the guy ahead of him at least to keep an eye on him as they got them out.
Under prepared more than anything. If they had enough food/water they are young enough to truck on, they ran low and panicked. That heat will remind you quickly when you are low on resources.
It's easy to get lost up there, there is 4 different trails to the summit. A headlamp/flashlight would've helped for night travel. Without a light, one wrong step could result in falling thousands of feet to their death.
@@redwhiteblue7831 yep. Or they literally just didn't have enough stamina?!
@@californiadave9454
That would be so funny, bc aren't they part of a soccer team lol? If so, it's probably bc they didn't have enough water/food.
They probably finished up their food and water within the first hour 🤣
@@redwhiteblue7831yup! Went there a couple years ago and NEVER again! It’s beautiful but we ended up getting lost because Devils backbone was scary as shit and I didn’t want to cross it back again when it was time to turn around…and we ended up getting lost (it turned into a 20 mile hike) but we ended up making it out alive thankfully 😞 thanks to being prepared and staying together (it was four people)
Let's talk about why the group separated. I'm amazed how people go out with little or no water.🤦🏻♀️
Oh, wrong shoe to I bet.
I know so stupid
Flip flops
@UCRszUceJuln1uM8oYrL4X3w
U S.T.F.U.
Imagine all the stars! How cool! Good thing they stayed where they were.
They brought the the White Claws, what could have gone wrong?
Thank you to all involved with finding these two students. Job well done.
Thank God they're alive. God bless the rescuers, and the couple...💞
WHOEVER TOOK THESE KIDS UP THERE " NEED TO BE FIRED " ASAP ' THESE KIDS DONT EVEN HAVE THE CORRECT SHOES ON TO GO HIKING '?? WTH IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE ??????????
The scary part is that the principal probably had to approve it and then then the school board! It doesn't say anything good about public education now does it?
Getting lost on Mt. Baldy is VERY HARD TO DO....ITS THE SLIPPING AND FALLING WITH ALL THE LOOSE FOOTING (gravel, rocks, VERY STEEP SLOPES) that makes it idiocy to do, for a bunch of newbies.
Prayers, love a happy ending. Praise be to God.
They will probably receive a 5k bill for the helicopter
$5k bill? Why do we pay taxes again?
If it's disaster it would be out of tax payer, if out of one's stupid action and need a rescued out by chopper, why should tax payers pay for it?
It probably costs 5k just to start it.
@@moonboi69420
What if your a visitor n don't pay the additional city/village/township taxes that pay for these 1st responders/rescuers. The U.S. is a *Federal Republic* (of 'different' united states), hopefully you learned what that means (governed), in school.
Nah..That's too low.. maybe $15K..especially with the terrain..
Those kids weren't messing around, they got separated like you said.
Whats your favourtei beer mate?
No hiking shoes…no hiking clothes…no water…real bad coaches….and the rescuer also had no walking sticks…when I hike baldy I wear long pants…long sleeves…and in my back pack I carry enough water …I take with me an amber jacket just in case I would have to be rescued…and if I take a group I never ever allow the group to separate, at the bottom of the hill, before the hike,I give a speech to the group about the rules…
He did have hiking poles, they were strapped to his pack and he never used them. He could have gave them to those being rescued, also he could have of relieved them of the contents of their packs since they didn't need it and he had "fresh" legs.
What I found amusing is the rescue guy suited up like he's going to the north pole, and the hiker girl in shorts and a t-shirt who ultimately leads the teenage girl to safety. Then at 11:48, she is charging back down the mountain to help to teenage boy. You rock, girlfriend!
I've been to baldy many times and don't recognize this part they got stranded at. Any idea what trail is this? It definitely looks like the baldy area though.
This is gonna sound mean but Mt. Baldy isn't even that difficult. How tf did they get lost up there?? Its such a popular trail too.
Low resources food/water matter more
@Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho would love to hear what happened.
You sound stupid. Anything can happend
Should have left them for the coyotes
It’s also more hotter now this year and college students are stupid
Dang, I see why it’s called mount Baldy
What kind of rescuer goes in front of a weakened victim? Get in position to help prevent a tragic fall.
why didn't you go josh ?
@@Thiiink Yea, too many of the commenters think they're the experts. Most have never been out of momma's basement.
Such an easy trail...
Good shoes, plenty of water, and emergency blanket is a must.
🙄
Ok cool guy
That’s not what the pilot said, who has hiked these trails many times. She said it was a difficult trail.
Thank God that someone saw them. I am so glad and thankful that that they are ok
I started climbing Mt Baldy in Jr. High and have been to the top several times from both the Top of the Notch side and the Bear Canyon Trail. It looks like they might be between Mt. Harwood and the summit here. Its a pretty grueling trail for the inexperienced and could have gone down in the 40's overnight at that altitude(9500'ft).
getting lost on mount baldy is pretty hard
No its not lol
Omg apple maps didn't work for the coaches
Don't underestimate morons.
@@Gus-op5ff let's not label everyone now too. Im sure they have a new lesson to teach everyone next week.
Missing? Pfft they were trying to sneak away to blaze one
😂 😂 😂
In the 1800s, old time miners with only mule power hauled machinery like stamp mills up Mt. Baldy, and blew/mined the top 20-40 feet of the summit off. Imagine their uproarious laughter if they heard a young prime athlete claiming they got lost/stuck/exhausted on a day hike there?
its honeslty so pathetic. This is one of the easiest day hikes you can do
Thank goodness these kids where found this seems absolutely terrifying. Thank you all for looking for them
Whats your favourtei beer mate?
Thank god for the rescuers 🙏🏽
Fuck God he ain't have shit to do with it, matter of fact, where tf does God really be? Did u see God even 1 time in this video? Or are you just imagining this and pretending he had something to do with it? I ain't never seen him or any demonstration of him or any rational reason to accept his existence. I don't think anybody living ever has. Just a bunch of stories people believe then tell their version of what they believe and why you should believe what they believe. Bunch of nonsense
Thank God they are ok..
which God ?
@@BigEightiesNewWave The one controlling MY universe..Allowing ME to get up everyday with my first breath!!! YOU FIND HIM YOURSELF!! WHEN YOU DO!! LET ME KNOW!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!
@@breewillsnails3677 Are you on drugs?
Im liking the helicopter footage... Beautiful SoCal
Does that rescuer really need that 200 pound back pack?
Really tho, he didn't take a damn thing out of that bag. Wtf he need it for?
I thought they could at least tie a rope around them, give them water, guide them up the mountain ⛰ after their long hot 🥵 exhausting ordeal. What if they could have slipped and fallen out of the rescuers reach?! They’re going to trust they’re ok to climb all the way up to the chopper 😳😱
Damm he or she could of HELPED the kids and GAVE THEM WATER WTF. I would of HELPED THEM KIDS. NO MATTER WHAT! WTF GAVE THEM WATER AND GAVE THEM A HAND A LEAST.
Yes. What are you gonna do, radio back to the chopper to get 100’ off rope for you? First aid, food, recovery, communications, etc. If you’re prepared, you prepare for a potential overnight too when in a remote place. That’s the difference of being inconvenienced vs being in a life threatening situation
@@TobyCostaRica relax bruh they had choppers hovering over them and there was clearly no danger...
I'm from Arizona and in Arizona we have a stupid hiker law. Do they have a stupid hiker law in California to charge them for the rescue?
I believe they do actually in Criminalfornia.
They do everywhere - especially if your not a resident n don't pay the taxes (that pays these 1st responders/rescuers). Some are offered community service i.e., talk about experience at schools etc to inform/deter others. Remember boys n girls, no 'law' was necessary until some idiot(s) found a reason for them to write it! 🙄
Uhh, Arizona doesn't have a stupid hiker law...
That rescue guy in orange didn't do anything but talk to them. He just left them both 😂😂
Rescuer does not give them water, food, check on them or push them up the hill. I hope this part of the rescue is free.
Exactly. The orange rescue guy didn't access the kids, or give them water!!?? That's crazy!
helicopters have limited run time. There probably was an urgency to it, not time for water and snacks
They not look missing they look hiding
Oh my! I know many people who went up there several times...with enough food, water and gear. Don't wander from your group...your phones won't work, no signal. Bring a compass, whistles, flash lights, too. Great they are safe...SEVERE LIFE LESSONS. Not in shorts kids, bugs, rattlers...they come out when it is hot and dry.👌🙏
As each year passes I am closer and closer to Mt. Baldy.
Whats your favourtei beer mate?
"Its amazing what fear can do."
said the media agent.
So glad they were found! Both these kids had inappropriate shoes for hiking.
I love how the reporters are talking like they’re experts in the field.
i could do so much worse than them
I dont think theyre talking like experts lol. Theyre just stating obvious facts. Loose rock and gravel trails on a really steep incline. You can tell that just by watching and they explain that lol. I dont think theres any sense of expert commentary on this
??? how are they claiming to be experts, they are just making observations
They're not experts in the field. They're reporters. Since when do you have to be mountain experts to report the news?
They don't look like people who wanted rescued???? Anyone else??
I’m glad they found them, but I agree why’s the rescuer walking in front of an injured and exhausted victim and it appears he didn’t even check him or give any water 💦
I was wondering the same thing! No water? No physical contact?
Rescuers walk in front to “guide the path” a distress hiker wouldn’t know where to step
At least he pointed to the helicopter...
I hiked to the top of Baldy in the summertime with my snowboard. There was a lengthy patch of snow up there. Rode and hiked back up several times, then hiked back down.
Whats your favourtei beer mate?
Why didn’t the rescuer give them water? 😐
Because hes from SD.
Very emotional to watch!!!!! How scary!!!!! Thank the lord for people like this to come and save them!! Such a steep hill too😳🙏🏽
There must be a Mt. Baldy, or, an Ol Baldy in every state with mountains.
Most aren't 10k feet though
@@seanthe100 The reason they're bald is their peak is above the tree line, in my neighborhood, that's about 10,000 ft.
They r rescuing them and no water at first wow...why those kids were left behind from the group that was rescued yesterday? And why did they go to a dangerous mountain with maybe a coach that didn't know the area...
Climbing the baldy bowl in one of the couliours at night is a real adventure feel bad for these kids since they didn’t have anyone experienced enough to take them down the basic trails is sad
getting down can be fast if you have good boots, otherwise a few spills can be expected. In either case, going down is 2 times easier than going up. The trails are well worn and easy to follow.
Oh goodness, when the helicopter panned around at 3:10 my heart drop from how steep that climb is. I’ve done a few hikes but I couldnt do that without preparation.
This happens when there is more adrenaline than common sense.
Or not enough resources food/water. That's the bigger problem for them you can see by their gear they don't really have much to survive very long out their and they freaked out.
He just wanted to get laid & was trying to impress her with his mad hiking skills. He only packed condoms & Drakar Noir in his pack.
Testosterone
Brings tears to my eyes. Thank God happy ending
Thank God that there ok. And a big thank u to fox 11 news for the help
Hiker lady is like uhhhh I’m 50 years old this soccer team is doomed
SkyFox out here saving lives
They don't make kids like they used to.
They don’t make coaches like they used to, either. Poor planning caused this and they were just lucky that it wasn’t worse.
Stay away from Negative People and Hangout With Winners ☝️🥳
They don’t even look like they want help lol
Inexperience young hikers hiking Mt Baldy , what can go wrong 😒. Just because you play soccer and think your in shape, doesn't make Mt Baldy any easier 😅.
@Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho now she’s pregnant & has herpes
wow ur such a hater lol
@Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho Easy for you but don't compare yourself to this kids.
@Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho inexperience is the reason this happened , you can be very skilled and athletic but at the end of the day you gotta be smart 🤓
@Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho , I will not BS you bro. Mt Baldy and the San Gabriel Mountains is home to me. I have 400 plus video of this Mountains and I'm telling you do not underestimate these mountains.
Damm he got it in
Man. They were really hard to spot! Specially the female! But pretty reckless for their coach to get the students stuck in such a dangerous place!
This experience is either going to bring them closer or end the friendship haha
I Googled 'students rescued mount baldy'. Lots of news articles going back many many years about various people rescued from Mount Baldy. Happens every year.
Idiots?
@@HeadNtheClouds Most people are not familiar with the loss of ability at high altitude. Going above 6000 feet when you live at sea level really takes a toll on your athletic ability. Still...as soon as you turn around and are heading down the loss is minimal and you can travel almost normally.
My uncle and aunt used to work search and rescue up there. The teams would do routine patrols and have found a number of people before they were even reported. Unfortunately, some are not as lucky. Both my aunt and uncle have some pretty crazy stories from working there over the years.
For anybody considering hiking Mt. Baldy for the first time, please consider training for it first if you haven't already done so. If you cannot do a 10 mile hike, at 7000 ft+, and with 4000 feet of elevation gain, then do not attempt to try Mt. Baldy. It's important to gauge whether you are fit enough for either of the above requirements. You can be a star athlete, but without proper conditioning and experience, altitude and exposure can make mince-meat out of you. Too bad the coaches were grossly ignorant of this.
This shit happens all the time on this mountain range. I've been going up Mt Baldy via the devils backbone in the middle of winter using crampons and an ice axe and seen high school kids coming down in skating shoes, I always warn them but it falls on deaf ears probably think im just being a karen lmao
I would never go there... you're so nice warning them
“That ground is…it’s covered in Pebbles…”
That’s the sentence of a person who calls a walk to the shed in her backyard a hike 😂.
Just kidding. That was cute though. Pebbles
They were very lucky to come out as they did. Even in summer, the mountain is windy af and can get below freezing on summer nights. I've learned the hard way, and make sure to carry a flashlight AND headlamp with hella batteries for even relatively short dayhikes just in case! I've made the mistake of being out after dark without a flashlight!
This is hard to believe being that this is the year 2021 isn't it? Do we even have common sense anymore? Probably wasn't nobody in the group old enough to remember the Vietnam police action/war. We definitely need better education for our children. Everyone better start home schooling because it's not on the political agenda folks.
Funny I’m looking at Mt.Baldy from Ontario right now
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA FUNNY HUH?
@@HeadNtheClouds yes sir had me a little knee slapper
5:50 is a nice shot from the camera man good job!
waste of tax money please charge these people for rescue .
Waste of money, should just leave them there. Disband search and rescue crews, can spend the money on the homeless.
PS: just trying to sound more absurd than anyone else.
This has actually happened the guy was lost in national Forrest and was prisoned for 6 months. Search Rene compean.
Right? These people are complete nimrods
sadly, the ignorant must play it out to steer the others into something even more absurd and well you know, the ripple effect.. something new every day
It doesn't really cost a lot for a helicopter to fly to that spot from where they took off. California just likes to overcharge for everything because its a corrupt state. cost of fuel is all that should of costed and the helicopter probably didn't fly very far to get there as they use the nearest takeoff spot of course. But knowing CA they will take the cost of fuel and multiple it by x100 and bill the insurance.
I went out on a hike with a group at work. Folks hiking with all black, foam running shoes, and no water on a 6mi hike on a hot day. Amazing.
You guys should cover more rescues!
We have a Mt Baldy in Michigan City IN, except it is a sand dune.
Yep, I thought that was the Mt. Baldy they were talking about…
Is Mt. Baldy open again? Didn’t they close it for a while after that young boy got trapped?
Like Stu's ego wasn't big enough already. Now he's got something else to toot his own horn about.
Very, very lucky these kids were found alive and well. I will forever remember the young Boy Scout who disappeared during a troop outing in the Angeles National forest. Only his camera was found, with the last image being of him looking frightened.
The two were just in a heated argument.
Yeah they do look like they were arguing. Looks like the guy is the one to be like “fuk that I don’t care if they come”
@@RatfromNadeaust yup, she was like, come here right now, and he was like nope I ain’t going nowhere.
there really making them walk up…
Good, they're idiots
They can't land the helicopter on a jacked incline...... they have to walk up and they weren't really passed out if they were they would of had to tie them up and drag them and risk injuries so its better for them to walk if they can.
They should throw firecrackers under their feet haha
Always over pack for any kind of hike. Use the 10 C's and 2 is one, 1 is none. As a parent I would be out there all night looking for my kid until I found them.
If you are not prepared, physically and equipment wise, Baldy will break you. If they didnt have experience with that hike, that would be one dangerous place to be at night. Glad they made it out
LMFAO when she said covered in small pebbles and the pilot (who's clearly hiked the mountain himself) instantly cuts in to correct her by calling it shale.
Good job!
They mated at night. And separated in the morning so no one would suspect. Hahaha
Looks like some people who were pushing the limit and didn't want to be rescued.
Absolutely clueless 🤦♂️
STU IS THE MAN BRING US VIEWERS ONLY THE VERY BEST!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂
You making it much more drama than it actually is.
The news always does that ! 🙄
There should have been more supervising adults.
Hiked those mountains when I was a kid. Idiots for separating. I could of do this at night smh
That's a $50,000 dollar helicopter ride
Im glad the resort was closed that day. I'd have felt so bad loading those kids up the lift if this happened. They started their hike from Manker Flats which is 1/4 (ish) miles below our parking lot.
y'all don't even know how tough this is!
How does a person much less two get lost in Mt baldy? Did they got too exhausted? Low on oxygen?
Gotta love the over dramatized reporting.
Expensive helicopter ride down.
Why can't they walk out? They are standing right on the trail.Good grief.
I always have a tiny flash light with me. So tiny.. it uses only 1 AAA batery. It's so useful. It's easier to find something in my bag when i have a flashlight rather than feeling through it. If i ever got stranded somewhere in darkness, i wouldn't have to worry about total darkness.
Does anyone know where to get we're found? West baldy?
I'm an experienced backpacker, no way in hell would I let my children hike this mountain with teachers and coaches not allowing me to go. I went on a trip this last weekend up there for a overnighter. The overnight lows were 48° rain in the morning. I posted a video, check it out.
Right!
