    That WAS sad. It may have been like the last strike in the area. At least she enjoyed it, and probably went out relatively quickly.

    He should have tried harder though. I've been in similar situations, and it is stressful, but he would greatly increase the chances of her living if he tried to at least get a pulse first. Going for help without do that is kind of a lost cause. Ironically MOST people die due to lack of oxygen because of the shock and momentary halt of the heart. It is like an engine that is LOW on gas with no starter motor. If you can get gas to the car just before it stops, it will sputter but start running again. If you fail to do it, the motor will stop and you may never get it started again. Luckily, with people it might be minutes before that happens, but it does.

    And that is one of the nasty things about such areas, having no way to communicate with anyone that can help. It's a shame they don't have some sort of repeater system or something along the trail, or maybe have a walkietalkie frequency they can go over. Some of those walkietalkies can go like 25 or more miles with NO license! The sad part is that a standard frequency and a little payment to a local business could probably prevent problems like this, if you're prepared.

    In national parks, the ranger could man a certain frequency. Of course I believe they likely monitor the CB channel 9, and I don't know if the walkie talkies generally have access to that frequency. Still, Channel 9 is apparently limited to 4 miles. But if the ranger station were in the middle of the park, and the park were 144square miles in effectively a circle, and the cell repeaters were on the periphery everyone in the part could quickly communicate via the 4 mile channel 9, or the 2 mile digital cell. If the ranger couldn't help, they could patch the radio into a land line.
