High Buck Trip Cut Short

[JimmyHoffa]

Man you can’t leave us hanging now. Sounds like you found a dead body or something .

The movie Deliverance comes to mind

This is just crazy, not something I'd expect on the high hunt. Did the Sheriff show up from the SOS button of the Garmin? I've had an inreach for a few years now and kind of curious of the response you would get using that feature. Good Job handling this situation.

Yes and I'll leave it at that.

What was your elevation?   How was his physical conditioning?  Short of breath?


I wonder if he was suffering from hypoximia, low oxygen can make some intense delusions! 

[HillHound]

Man I’m sorry. I’ve always thought about it when  I’ve definitely been off some beaten paths I wouldn’t be surprised to find someone who got lost or someone people just didn’t want anybody to find. Knew and old boy that found the corpse of a little girl that Had  been kidnapped and dumped off the end of a landing years ago. Seem like it really messed him up and he didn’t really like going out anymore after that. These are the exact kind of things were trying to escape from when we’re out there enjoying Gods country

That right there is the weirdest Backcountry story I've ever heard!

Not too many places in WA that will cause that.

That really depends on the person in the shape they’re in( and I was in good shape). I experienced in my early 30s is not a very high elevation because I went from zero elevation to eight thousand feet plus in less than four hours.😉

Ya, was just thinking about his physios and wondering what could cause it at a moderate elevation, maybe some other contributing factor like vape oil in the lungs, hypoxia and eventually physios.  I'm not a doc, obviously 

but I can see how atomized oil would accumulate in the lungs,  I mean you cook bacon and the grease gets up in your stove exhaust vents

I'm serious!


do some vaping and hit the mountains out of shape, lungs full of vape juice oil and perhaps...if the conditions were just right, you could get hypoxia and see bears everywhere!

Yes hypoxemia can cause delusions, but this sounds more like either a mental breakdown, possibly a condition he already had and his medication was off; if that was the case he should not have had a firearm, nor been that far from civilization. It does really sound like he had ingested some hallucinogen and was off his rocker from that. Like State farm I have seen a thing or two with people like this. Glad it worked out ok. To the original person that posted this, if you want to talk more about it privately PM me I will listen, it is very traumatic if you have not dealt with this before.

You know what it was? It was that damn sasquatch.

[Skyvalhunter]

Glad you were there to help this guy out.

Thanks for posting OP.  Something I will take into consideration, hopefully never, if I find myself in a similar situation.  One might never expect something like that.  Sounds like you handled it perfectly though, good work.

This sounds similar when a meth head wandering onto our property yelling and screaming at 4am that they were coming to get her and kept yelling for help and to help her. It's quite creepy and unnerving.
