NORTH VANCOUVER — An ill-prepared hiker has been pulled out of British Columbia’s North Shore mountains after losing his shoes and all charge on his mobile phone.
Allan McMordie of North Shore Rescue says the man was barefoot, in shorts, soaking wet and cramped up after spending two nights in the wilderness.
North Vancouver RCMP asked for help from the rescue team on Thursday after receiving a call from the hiker who said he was near Lynn Creek and was having trouble getting out. Lynn Creek is kilometres long, so they used a drone with a thermal camera to pick up the man's heat signature and then used a helicopter to hoist him out to a location where he was able to be taken to hospital.
