I mean, don't get me wrong, he did do an amazing job rescuing his friend, but let's not forget that it was basically a textbook rescue situation. I've seen plenty of videos on wilderness first aid and rescue techniques online - the guy had likely studied for this moment. 
Still, credit to him for staying calm under pressure! 
And yeah, taking up rescue courses is definitely a great idea - we should all be prepared for emergencies, regardless of our skill level. 
I'm so glad no one was seriously hurt in that crazy tree well rescue 
Francis Zuber is like a hero, calm and cool under pressure 
He did an amazing job with his first aid skills and rescue gear 
Everyone should take lessons to be prepared for emergencies like that, it's super important to know what to do 
That skier is a total lifesaver 
The rescue team did their part too, but Zuber was the one who took charge and saved his friend 
omg just saw that video of Francis Zuber rescuing his friend from that tree well and I'm literally speechless 
that guy is a total hero for staying calm under pressure and taking charge like a pro 
I'm definitely going to be looking into those mountain rescue courses now 
... i mean don't get me wrong, the guy who rescued his friend is pretty cool and all, but let's not make him a hero overnight 
. it's just basic wilderness first aid 101, you know? 
any self-respecting outdoor enthusiast knows to be prepared for emergencies before they even happen 
, but lucky he got rescued by his friend Francis Zuber who stayed calm & took charge 
this whole thing gives me chills - i mean, being trapped upside down in a tree well is literally one of the worst places you can be stuck, but thankfully zuber was able to stay calm and think clearly... it's crazy how he was able to use his skills to rescue his friend without causing any more harm... 
! I love how he's now spreading awareness about taking rescue courses – we should all be prepared for emergencies just in case we're out in the wilderness like that. 
I'm telling you, this whole thing doesn't add up... I mean, just because Francis Zuber happened to be nearby with the right skills doesn't mean it was just a coincidence. What if he was sent there for some reason? Maybe he's part of some secret rescue team or something. And what about the fact that the tree well was situated in such a remote area? That sounds like a setup to me... all that training and expertise, that's gotta be more than just luck. I'm not saying it's anything sinister, but there's definitely something fishy going on here 
And it's so inspiring to see him urging others to take up rescue courses and get trained in wilderness first aid 
!
. I mean, who else would be like "oh no, my friend is stuck upside down" and then just spring into action? 
.
. Luckily, a fellow skier came to the rescue and helped me out, it was super scary but also really cool to see that someone was looking out for me.
, and then you have heroes like Francis Zuber who are just doing their thing because they're properly trained and prepared. It's awesome to see people taking responsibility in those situations and using their skills to help others.
