It was a sticky situation, to say the least.

A hiker on the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail became stuck in mud up to his hips recently and couldn香蕉视频直播檛 get out for a couple of hours.

Although Juan de Fuca Search and Rescue were in the process of preparing to respond to the incident on March 29, the male hiker was pulled out of the mud by other hikers passing by on the trail, said Victoria Clarke, team manager and co-ordinator for JDF Search and Rescue.

香蕉视频直播淚t was really fortunate for him that the other hikers came along,香蕉视频直播� Clarke said. 香蕉视频直播淗e香蕉视频直播檇 been in there quite a while, and was getting cold, tired and nervous.香蕉视频直播�

Clarke said conditions on parts of the trail can be 香蕉视频直播渧ery, very香蕉视频直播� muddy at times and it香蕉视频直播檚 not unusual for people to sink up to their knees, but this was the first time she香蕉视频直播檚 heard of someone sinking up to their waist.

Search and rescue team members have sunk up to their thighs on occasion while carrying injured people out on stretchers, but always manage to get out quickly, she noted.

Because of the JDF Marine Trail香蕉视频直播檚 popularity and close proximity to Victoria, many people don香蕉视频直播檛 understand the challenges the terrain and ever-changing conditions can present, Clarke said.

She advises anyone who香蕉视频直播檚 considering a hike on the trail to visit and follow the links to trail specific safety videos.
