“After the Fall; My Helicopter Rescue Off the Mountain” chronicles the dramatic real-life emergency Rick Kamel faced with his call for a chopper to rescue him as he lay helpless on a harsh desert mountain trail.

Rick said, “Attendees will gain detailed insight into the strategies and tactics I used to facilitate a safe, speedy and smooth rescue for me and most importantly the rescue team.”

Rick, an accomplished solo mountain, forest and desert hiker who moved to Maricopa County over a decade ago, shares photos of his own helicopter rescue and the hours that followed this harrowing experience.

Rick has received sterling reviews giving this presentation to hiking clubs, community organizations of all types and REIs throughout the Southwest. So please join us for this totally unique perspective with gripping photos of real-life, as it happened rescue.
