Thank you to N.H. Fish and Game and other volunteers rescued the three hikers. The hikers seemed prepared for their trip but not for its outcome. That is why it's important to do thorough research on how to be prepared if you are thinking about doing a hiking trip during the winter season. Please mak sure you wear appropriate clothing to keep you warm and make sure you are packing an emergency kit bag that contains, gallons of water, a warm blanket, and so on. In conclusion, we hope the boys learned their lesson and are recovering from their injuries well and as always, please be safe eout there!
