After the second day they found the backpack of a missing hiker from more then a year ago! They found some food and matches and a log from the missing hiker that explained that he was lost and that he was probably going to die on this mountain! (how freaky!)
They used the matches to light a small fire and fed it with dry leaves to make it smoke and a rescue helicopter saw the smoke and pulled them to safety!
I find that whole story fascinating in that one simple fact that they use what they could from the dead guys backpack to save themselves
(Total Cosmic Karma!)
When we do this hike we'd use our GPS'rs and map all of the way points!
From off the tram and use the "breadcrumbs" feature on my GPS'r to track our path!
There no Chance of us getting lost (unless we're sooo stoned!)
Camel pak and a walking stick is recommend
I hope to see more "Trail Blazers" coming

Yeah it is trippy. It said in the news that they found his backpack exactly 1 year to the day the other hiker went missing. Nice. Can you imagine how they felt when they found that backpack. They were probably thought in was a Mirage.
