I love the simplicity of the statements. He was air evacuated by private helicopter. The part not being said is that from the time he got to the lodge to evacuate, was 2 hours. The first aider was hands on for most of that.
We imagine the rescue being swift once you get to help, but for those who haven't lived in the bush, there is no EMT response within 10 minutes. Be prepared for having to continue to deal with a dying person for hours.
My heart goes out to the poor soul who had their hands covered by this man's blood. This will be a traumatic experience that will haunt that person forever.
