People continue to flock outdoors as summer winds down and fall approaches. As record numbers of visitors make their way into our area\u2019s forests, safety is an ongoing concern. Jason Davis, owner of North River Farms and co-owner of DB bar D Outfitters, is also a volunteer firefighter serving as the chief of North Transylvania Fire Rescue and the assistant chief of Mills River Fire & Rescue. Both departments provide Search and Rescue response to Pisgah National Forest, as well as additional public and private lands.<\/p>\n

Davis sees firsthand the effects of increased traffic in the woods. \u201cEach season, we see increases in the number of Search and Rescue calls, and we respond to everything from lost hikers to mountain biker or rock climber injuries, and everything in between,\u201d he says. \u201cIn an area with an abundance of waterfalls, there are also an unfortunate number of waterfall injuries and deaths each year.\u201d<\/p>\n

This makes safety an especially important priority for Davis in his businesses. At North River Farms, daily meetings include safety talks. Last fall, Davis added a Technical Rescue certification in Machinery & Agriculture to his resum\u00e9 as well.<\/p>\n

Kyle Vaughan is the outfitter manager and guide for DB bar D Outfitters, and with the potential dangers in hunting or fly fishing trips, he, too, prioritizes safety. \u201cThe outfitter implements a standard safety plan for all guides to follow in the event there is an emergency, and every guide has a minimum of first aid and CPR training to allow them to initiate care while awaiting emergency services,\u201d Vaughan says.<\/p>\n

As mid-September brings the start of archery season for whitetail deer, hunter safety becomes more important\u2014both for hunters and for other forest users. Anyone recreating in areas where hunting is allowed is encouraged to wear bright colors during hunting seasons. For hunters, the NC State Hunter\u2019s Safety Course is a great place to start, and it\u2019s required by the state when purchasing a regular hunting license. \u201cWe require every adult client that we guide to have the certification prior to a hunt,\u201d Vaughan says.<\/p>\n

For anyone going into the woods, here are other safety measures.<\/p>\n

BE PREPARED<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Know your route.
\n\u2022 Stay off waterfalls and away from rocks and water at the tops of falls.
\n\u2022 If you\u2019re solo, have a check-in (someone who knows your intended route and your \u201cwhen to call for help\u201d time).
\n\u2022 Obtain basic first aid\/CPR training, at the least.
\n\u2022 Carry the ten essentials: navigation (map, compass, GPS); sun protection; insulation (clothing layers, rain gear); illumination (headlamp or flashlight; don\u2019t drain your phone); first aid supplies; fire (waterproof matches, lighter, candles); repair kit and tools for bikes\/equipment; nutrition (extra food); hydration (extra water\/purification options); emergency shelter.<\/p>\n

IN AN EMERGENCY<\/strong>
\n\u2022 If you\u2019re lost, stay put!
\n\u2022 Use emergency beacons: PLB is the recommended option. If activated, follow up with a phone call if possible.
\n\u2022 When reporting the emergency, give details on the injury and the location (GPS coordinates are preferred, including any trail intersections, landmarks, etc.).
\n\u2022 If possible, leave someone with the patient and let other forest users or group members meet rescuers to lead them to the exact location.
\n\u2022 Self-rescue for minor injuries, without putting yourself at risk.<\/p>\n

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER CALLING 911<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Understand that from the time you call 911, it will take longer for rescue crews to reach you in a wilderness situation, and that wilderness emergencies require specialized response and equipment.
\n\u2022 If there are conflicting reports of the location of the emergency, or if the location is unclear, then timing is longer and resources cannot be focused on one location until it is confirmed.
\n\u2022 Many of our single-track trails are inaccessible by ATV or UTV, so rescuers must enter on foot.
\n\u2022 Carrying out patients is difficult and takes a lot of manpower and time. We have steep terrain and narrow trails; rigging ropes, which can be physically and mentally challenging for the injured patient, may be required.
\n\u2022 Transport by ambulance or helicopter after exiting the woods may be necessary, and those are the only costs that would be incurred. All other rescue efforts leading up to exiting the forest are free of charge.<\/p>\n

RESCUER CHALLENGES<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Most fire and rescue departments are volunteer-based with some paid positions. Volunteers are dwindling locally and nationwide, and only a handful of departments have full-time, paid staff (mostly in larger towns).
\n\u2022 Contact your local fire or rescue station for more information on becoming a volunteer or donating. Most departments surrounding forests have members that specialize in Wilderness Rescue.<\/p>\n
