. Can't we get some original news for once? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great that they were able to save the guy and all, but has this happened 1000 times already on Camelback Mountain? 
I mean, I get it, they're trying to be efficient, but come on...
It's just gonna be another day of us netizens swooning over some brave EMTs. Can't we have something more substantial to discuss for once? 
. i mean, can u imagine being stranded up there with no shelter or food? that's some crazy stuff. but seriously, the fact that they used a drone to drop him blankets & food shows how tech is changing the game for rescues like this 
. and kudos to those rescue team members who worked together to get him down safely 
. so glad everything turned out okay in the end 
... like, one minute you're enjoying the view, next you're wondering how you got there 
. But seriously, I'm impressed by the rescuers' precision with that drone drop - they really thought it through, and it's awesome to see tech being used in situations like this 
. And can we talk about how brave that stranded hiker is? I mean, getting stuck on a rock in the middle of nowhere without basic necessities... that takes some guts! 
.
! Can you imagine having to order pizza via drone? "Hey, delivery guy, I'm on a rock... just bring it to me here 
". Seriously though, kudos to those rescuers for being so quick on their feet and having the right gadgets to save that dude's bacon. I mean, who needs hiking guides when you have drones and blankets with emojis on them? 
! and the crew that came down to rescue him was like total heroes, i'm not even kidding 
. Arizona's wilderness areas are literally getting more and more insane every year, but at least the rescuers know what they're doing 
. anyway, glad he's safe, though
