Who: 26-year-old Joshua Carter
Where: Mt. Mansfield, Underhill State Park, Vermont
His mistake: He went alone in bad weather, but he did a lot of things right
What happened: A man set out for the summit of Mt. Mansfield on his own. Although the weather was good when he left, bad weather quickly came in before he reached the summit and disoriented the hiker.
He called for help and rescue crews were immediately dispatched. The man was prepared with food, water and warm clothing. Rescuers talked him down from the mountain while other teams took snowmobiles up to meet him. The man was found in good condition. He was cold, but uninjured.
