“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.
