the US Coast Guard is a mix of angels and hero's and doesn't get enough recognition

That search dog is like "oh hell no. This looks worse than the damn vet!"

My husband is so proud of his time in USCG he misses it

Love how they are teaching the next generation how to survive in the water and react to a rescue situation. That makes them that much calmer and easier to deal with come a real rescue situation.

I am so glad that the13 year old girl was found safe god bless.

"We call them Angels of the Sky. Because they are."

Amazing men and woman dedicated to helping people, seriously awesome

13 years old, no survival skills and not familiar to the area and she decided to take a hike by herself. She's lucky she was found within a couple days because that would have been a far worse story if she'd been out there for much longer

“Blueberry leaves...and a spider.” Gee she’s a badass hahaha

Ha!!! Oh my gosh!! I could not help but laugh out loud when Michaela said “this is the one day I’m gonna be hugging people” because I have a 13-year-old daughter and that would literally be the exact thing she would say. So funny. I’m so glad she’s OK.

Can you imagine how great this girl felt when she realized how much personnel and resources just for her, along with her family and community! I don't see her leaving Alska anytime soon! I am a former Fire Chief and Paramedic and have worked along side USCG, SAR, US and Alska wildlife officials teams and the National Park Service! Sadly 2 of the searches did not end well like a small plane crash and someone who fell into a rapid waterfalls in the middle of the park. The plane crash incident had resources cost between all agencies was around 2 Million before we found the deceased and the crashedvaircraftit and with over 300 personnel over the time once notified and 5.4 Million with over 500 personnel to search for the foreign citizen visiting the Alska wilderness! It was so very sad to tell the family we couldn't find the individual alive and well with all victims! When we did have a good rescue it was most rewarding feeling! Even just one life is priceless!

Please at least give your kid a whistle and tell them to keep buildings in sight. If their like my oldest they might not listen to the second part but the whistle can really help.

The Coast Guard, especially in Alaska, are amazing people.

these dudes are the true heros!!

I feel like when the AST saw the dog he was like "best case, this has just became the best case".

In New London, CT. The Whaling City and home of the Coast Guard Academy we say God bless the Coast Guard

When we were mushroom picking and someone failed to show up by around dusk, we would sit on the road below the area (pickers typically head out uphill and come out downhill) and would blow our car horns to give the lost one a direction to travel.

Great job to search and rescue. They found her, warmed her and fed her. That young lady is a smart and strong.😊💕 Big thank you to the USCG, well done👍🏻

America's Heros. Angels of the sky!

Is it just me, or is Alaskan community what America is meant to be? It seems like the purest form of what I also imagined America to be.

Coast guard: Don't worry we'll find your loved ones. Are they familiar with the area? Me: No, ones from NYC, the other 2 from Dallas and L.A. Coast guard: I'm so sorry for your loss.

In Alaska Thank God they come out to save people! Alaska has so many remote places plus the sea. 🐾🐬 It's a gorges place ALASKA, but you have to be on guard for the times you think you're safe... 🚸

Amazing men who were so kind and dedicated and nonjudgmental!

"When I saw the coat guard's face I knew I was rescued 'cause the coast guard is always there for you" made me tear up a bit.

These guys are amazing! The work, expertise, teamwork, bizarre situations?? Just, wow! First responders aka Healthcare works who help and save lives.

Angels 👼 of the sky! Definitely....

the shallow water sailor is your friend always remember that.from a deep water sailor : )

Angels of the sky. I like that. They are.

I’ve learned a lot about The Coast Guard through these videos. Thank you for your service. I watched another search and rescue called The Horn, Air Zermatt in Switzerland a few years back, and their commitment and skill is similar

That young girl was actually the most amusing and heroic thing I've ever heard OF and all thanks to the men and women from the coast guard that young girl is absolutely tough YOU GO YOUNG LADY !!!!

Love this!! Survival skills are one of the most important things to teach kids!! I went through survival training as a flight nurse in the Airforce… I LOVED IT!

Dogs are angels just like the coast guard snd military that protect us .

You guys are all beautiful souls!

These folks go out in weather that would make Santa Claus stay home. Thank gods for the Coast Guard.

incredible stories! Alaskans seem to be very hardy people - livin’ up there is not easy. those Coast Guys are terrific. i know how it feels to have strong, professional people come and help. been in 2 fires here in NYC, NY. Firepeople are THE best!!! Nurses and EMS people are wonderful, too. :) 🌷👨🏽‍🚒👩🏻‍🔬🦸‍♀️

I'd like to say, I grew up on Kodiak in the early 00's and got that same survival training they got at 16:50. It's stuck with me waaay longer than 2-3 days, I still talk about it to anyone that will listen. One of the coolest memories in my life, thanks Coast Guard!

Truly American heroes!! Two and four legged!

Hint from a CNA... When someone is in the water & needs to get in the boat... @18:09 in video Slide YOUR WHOLE RIGHT ARM UP TO THIER SHOULDER... LIFT YOUR ARM UP & LOCK THEIR SHOULDER BETWEEN YOURS... SO YOU'RE LOCKING SHOULDERS... Than turn to your LEFT to drag them onto your back a bit, and it's EASY PEASY to drag em right out over your shoulder, because you're using your whole body & back muscles INSTEAD of just your wiped out arm muscles. You can literally roll right over and take them with you, into the boat. Try it. I think you'll be surprised how much easier it is to lift someone out of the water. And remember, use your back, shoulder, body, and leg muscles whenever you can leverage them. It's not only safer lifting, it's SO MUCH easier! And ladies & kids, you'll be amazed at how much more weight you can lift EASILY without killing yourself doing it. Especially if you're trying to lift a grown man into a boat or any other place. Always use your body & legs. This is how we lift people up out of wheelchairs. By locking shoulders & just standing up. No lifting pain or strain. Just lock shoulders & stand up using your whole body muscles instead of just your arms. Same process can be used here, but with a lock shoulders, roll & pull motion. Leverage is everything, when you're trying to lift or move!

Yeah, my service dog would’ve been like, “NOPE! It’s a monster!” 😂. He’s my everything, super helpful. he still would go if my life depended on it. I could de-sensitize him to it. But knowing he’s not the only working dog who’s wary (SAR guy had to pick him up and carry him in) is reassuring!

Not only in Alaska, but any rural area, If you go into the woods, bring a couple orange smoke candles and a orange hand flare. Depending on the area, bring a revolver also. If you're old enough to go out you're old enough to use all three.

The ground crew that searched for that missing girl should've gotten the credit for finding her..all the credit went to the air and rescue team from the Coast Guards when they didn't even find her..all they did was pick her up once she was found. I'm not saying they did nothing cuz the job they do is amazing and they helped look for her but at least give some credit to the people who actually found her which never happened. That's all I'm saying!

Chris Belise - you are my favorite! Love your outlook on teaching the kids, interacting with the survivors, and generally getting along with everyone. You are an inspirational person for sure. I see that you are intelligent by the thought through actions you take, but you don't seem to be ego driven. Just want to say Thank You very much for all work you do and almost more importantly for the great example you are setting. I certainly wish I could be as good a person as I've seen of you.

These beautiful people are HEROES! EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE ANGELS ON Earth. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!

You guys are truly Awesome . think you . And may the all Mighty God be with you.

Now she's a girl dad should be very proud of. Awesome young lady to even think of what to do in her situation. Many would have come home in a body bag. God bless her. I've got a feeling she'll become a coast guard

True hero's! I absolutely enjoyed this video! Very heartwarming!

I love people that care.

Alaska appears beautiful. On my bucket list for years.

Truly, Angels of the sky!

Definitely a good investment of tax dollars. Thank you for the heart warming story.

Keep the ocean safe I work for the state of Texas cost guard

Why was a 13 year old with no gear, no supplies, no training and next to no knowledge of the area allowed to go out for a hike by herself? Wtf?

WOW, thank God for the Coast Guard!!!!

Big time HERO'S ! GOD BLESS THEM ! ❤ 🙏❤🙏

16:59 No one commenting on the guy walking casually in shorts with snow on ground?... Lol I know when we were teens we'd do that but I outgrew it long ago! Brrr.

“And a spider” “wHaT” 👁👄👁

Would've been terrified of bears. Bless her

The U.S. Coast Guard was the first military service to use canines. They would take them on patrol boats throughout the So. Pacific and use them to find Japanese soldiers. The dogs would find the Japanese soldiers scent and hunt them down. They were trained to find their scent by using imprisoned Japanese Americans by getting the dogs used to their scents.

Of course Makayla was all right! They's a hardy bunch in Southeast. I bet this series does wonders for Coast Guard recruitment. My family and I lived in Southeast for 20 years, and we have nothing but mad respect for the United States Coast Guard!

Outstanding job gentleman for finding this young girl you guys did an amazing job.

That’s an excellent program for the kids. 👍

What a great group of people, people in remote areas have a professional caring organisation looking after them. Here in Australia, we have the Royal Flying Doctor Service who do a similar role. All great people from admin to on the ground.

The Gentleman at the end said thank you with the nicest comments 😇 In The Sky, God Bless

God bless them,when you almost died and here they come,you are so greatfull,they are our angel's

Every time I watch this it makes me cry these guys are very Courageous my props to them GOD BLESS and GO COAST GUARD

Angel's of the Sky , Yes !!

i love all these people brave and saving lifes its just amazing to see!

Fair play to her. She did brilliantly.

We appreciate all you do, God bless!

Respect

Can't handle a needle, so they drill into the bone instead? That sounds much, much worse.

Even adults with hiking experience should never solo hike.. I’m so happy to hear the 13 year old was found safe because that story could have had a very tragic end

I love the coast guard n Law Enforcement..Thank u...u guys do an Amazing Service..God bless u all..

I love the Coast Guard

Coast guard rocks

It surprises me that not every rescue flight that goes out, there isn't a Corpsman on board to push drugs and start IVs. I like that on the rescue flights. I love this series. The men and women are so well trained. The Coast Guard is definitely risking Their lives to rescue many. The rescue swimmer, flight Mechanic, 2 pilots are Heros!!

My mom and her siblings got lost in the woods when they were really young and spent the night in the woods

Get ear protection / mufflers for the dog

God bless all who went to search for her

So cool, the work that you do, for people lives

Angels in the sky :D

Love seeing Sitka again. Been to long since I’ve been home

I'm happy the girl was happy and found and healthy and doing well 😊😊😊😊

@ 12:11 i love how the father is eating a doughnut while his 13 year old daughter who was left is the wilderness for 2 days hasn't eaten a thing

I admire you guys, you have a different job by times.Probably every time because of where your located. Thanks for doing an awesome job

Yes God bless and protect each and everyone. Of them.

May these incredible rescue 🛟 teams be BLESSED.

I love the school program! I wish we had that at the school where I teach!

bluebery leaves and a SPIDER. i wouldve been found cause of howw loud i screamed if i saw a spider

Angles Of The Sky , I Love that y’all Rock

Our Alaskan coast guard are the best up here, simple!👍

Not sure if she had any tech with her, but nowadays you have cell phones with gps and there's also tracking devices...so people have many ways to be found if they get lost. It's a relief this child turned out to be safe and sound. Alaska is a gorgeous place...and I happen to like the rain...so I hope to visit it sometime...it'd also be good to see it by air as well.

Amazing job

Excellent!!!

This is such a great show. Y’all are great!

Go Costies!👋🏼

Darlin' next time you go hiking take survival gear (tent, jacket, beanie, gloves, blanket, water, food, matches,) even though you might just be going for a short walk...and never go alone!!!! Dad what were you thinking letting her go alone, esecially when you were newcomers???? Thank goodness for the community minded people and the coast guard. Maybe 3 years on you are thinking of joining the coast guard yourself young lady!!! Have a great life..love from Western Australia ❤🦘🦘🦘🦘

Awesome teaching the kids

Stay safe out there 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm proud of you all. Did a great job
