They called me. The area they started feeling squirrelly in is pretty much my "backyard". If they were in serious trouble, they would have contacted S&R, but in a rush I can get to any peak relatively quickly. You'd be surprised with how fast someone can recover from exposure/minor heat stroke with just some Gatorade, shade and water poured on them

Might not be the recommended method, but it has a 2/2 record for me so far ha
