"A stranded Alaska hiker was rescued last week after a handful of viewers spotted him on a livestream camera ahead of the anticipated "Fat Bear Week."

Around 4 p.m. last Tuesday, a disheveled hiker was spotted on Dumpling Mountain within Katmai National Park and Preserve.

The hiker could be seen approaching one of 12 cameras operated by Explore.org. The hiker could be seen, seeming to mouth the words "help me." Behind him, conditions are windy and rainy conditions with poor visibility."

During the past few Adirondack SAR incidents I have been on, if the subject's direction of travel is unknown, one of the first things we look for is locally placed trail cameras along suspect trails and possible routes of travel. They often pay off.
