Two teenagers, hiking on Mount Moosilauke, found themselves in danger after becoming 'unprepared' for winter conditions, leading to their rescue. They initiated a call for help after struggling without the necessary equipment like snowshoes and headlamps while navigating a snow-covered trail. Although they managed to reach a more stable path with a portable charger, contact was lost momentarily. Luckily, Conservation officers found them safe, providing a valuable reminder about the essential gear hikers should carry, especially during winter outings.
During the initial call with a Conservation officer, the hikers' cell phone batteries died and all contact was lost, highlighting the importance of preparedness.
The department took the opportunity to remind hikers to pack the ten essential items...every time they venture out, stressing that winter hiking needs extra gear.
