This last weekend, the rescue of a Washington couple and their dog (that may have been eaten) came about because Dan Conne was able to use his sheath knife as a signal mirror.
PORTLAND, Ore. — Three family members lost six nights in the rugged forest of southwest Oregon used their dead cellphone and a sheath knife to flash a signal at the helicopter pilot who found them.
Dan Conne (con-NAY') said Sunday from his hospital bed in Gold Beach, Ore., they spent the nights huddled in a hollow log with nothing to eat, and considered sacrificing their dog Jesse for food before they were found.
So the next time you spend a weekend chasing out the last scratches on a blade, remember that you may be saving lives and possibly the life of a pet that thought this trip to the mountains was going pretty well until master looked at me with that look....:drool:
