After the crash one of Garrett's dogs, Blue, took action and traveled 4 miles to the campsite to alert Garrett's party that something was wrong.
Garrett and his dogs were located safe near the site of the crash before he was life-flighted away from the scene. Garrett and the four dogs have been recuperating following the crash.
Following the incident, a donation fund has been set up through Umpqua Bank to support Garrett through medical expenses he's facing following the crash, including the life-flight that transported him to a Boise hospital.
