2. Reader Comment of the Day: "Kudos to the Mountain Rescue Service as well as Mr. Fielding for having the tenacity to turn a dire situation into what will no doubt become a great campfire story someday. Having participated in a number of rescues turned recovery it is a sober reminder that the proper equipment (including the 10 essentials) and applied knowledge can make a world of difference. Best holiday gift of all," reader Kevin Wexler commenting on the article, Lost Wilmington Hiker Rescued After Cold Night in the White Mountains.
