I'm so impressed by Francis Zuber's reaction in that rescue situation 😍. I mean, can you imagine being trapped upside down in a tree well? It's crazy enough just thinking about it! The fact that he stayed calm and thought on his feet (or should I say, skis?) is just amazing. And the way he expertly assessed the situation and came up with a rescue plan? 💡 Genius!

I think what really stood out to me was how selfless he was in that moment 🙏. He put someone's life before his own, which is just incredible. It's not about being famous or getting attention; it's about doing what's right when it matters most.

We should all take a cue from Francis Zuber and consider taking up rescue courses ourselves 🤝. Knowledge really is power, and having those skills can be the difference between safety and danger in an emergency situation. Kudos to him for being a true hero! 👏

I'm also loving the fact that the video of the rescue is getting so much attention on social media - it's a great reminder of how important it is to look out for each other and be prepared.
