I mean, it's crazy what kind of stuff that we were doing.

There was one that we did and it was hand over foot trying to get up this mountain.

Wow.

And so part of the activity was figuring out how to get to the end of it.

Hearing Megardly talk about ultramarathoners, it sounds like they have no off switch.

So maybe Ajay just overdid it.

Your brain...

does some wonky stuff when you're dehydrated.

And they thought maybe he got on a trail and he was doing the forest gump, just kept running.

That's a theory, that Ajay was doing the forest gump and just kept running and got himself into a tailspin of dehydration.

Responders take note and fan out across the search grid.

I was nice to him.

I said, you know, I know the area pretty well if you guys want help.

Ranger Jack Farley again.

And the guy goes, no, we're search and rescue.

We pretty much know what we're doing, you know?

So I go, okay, okay.

But it doesn't take long for the pros to realize they're in over their heads.

So then they're going, hey, are you the guy that knows the area?

You know, maybe you could give us a little help.
