B.C. Couple's Quick Thinking Helped Search & Rescue Locate Them
Catherine Gibbons, and Damon Brodeur were out for a five day camping trip exploring B.C.'s Columbia Valley when their vehicle got stuck in the snow. They were camping and exploring backcountry roads near Invermere, B.C. when family members noticed that they hadn’t heard from them in nearly a week.
Their quick thinking helped Columbia Valley Search and Rescue (CVSAR) locate them safe and sound.
Steve Talsma also wanted to share words of wisdom to always make sure that you share your plans and timeframe when heading outdoors with friends and family.
Hmm… an orange tarp sounds like a pretty good idea to have in our vehicle’s emergency kit as well. Well done!
