The trio either waited for help or walked 30 miles in the cold and snow to the nearest town. Ryan tried to rescue them, but the iPhone 13 Pro he was using didn’t have a signal.

Ryan had an idea and used the DJI Air drone to fly high into the air with his iPhone 13 Pro and then sent a text message to his wife who was overseas.
Ryan managed to find a signal to rescue his wife by flying up and down 3 times. Local rescuers then found and rescued the three travellers the next morning.
