I found the GoFundMe and can confirm it was posted there.

Not the ending I think many were hoping for.

Damn. I hate to hear that.

The only SAR I ever took part in made me consider doing that for a living. The utter incompetency of the agencies/bureaucracy that were involved was hugely disappointing. Us young woods guys were giving it everything we had (almost to our own detriment ) while a handful of dudes with uniforms and radios hung out around a table under a canopy.The end result was not what we hoped for and I quickly realized that they don’t all have a happy ending. To be helpful is certainly within me. To deal mentally with the inevitable possibilities may not be.

Sounds like Fire camps

This is extremely sad. Hits close to home with myself being 27, and my cousin, who is my hunting partner, being 28. We do these types of hunts. Definitely a reality check, and reminds that even day hunts from a truck are not inconsequential. We will be thinking hard about how to be adequately prepared,

Man. God damnit.

That sucks. Young gung ho guys who love hunting remind us all of ourselves, and when their lives are cut short we all feel a deep sense of loss.

At least they were found

Terrible news. Hope the hunters had a blast chasing elk together one last time before the tragedy struck and I hope the families find peace one day.

This thread has accumulated a ton of good insight, opinions and information regarding getting lost and preparation as well as how Inreach and other PLB's actually work. Terrible circumstances leading to this information being shared but this thread might save a life in the future so hopefully guys here have learned something useful. Stay safe out there this season fellas.

Hopefully over the coming days we will get some insight as to what happened so we can all learn from it.
