The guy who really saved the day with the anchors is apparently a handyman/technician. He sure was handy to have around that day...

He didn't just tie down some tent or whatever - that's a very lightweight aircraft in high winds with a fair-sized cross-section to the wind. And his tie-downs worked like he'd been practicing for years....

I wonder if they should have called SAR sooner? They could have asked the people they called the first night to notify SAR. By waiting they wound up being rescued "at the last minute" before bad weather closed in for a week, they risked straining SAR resources had other rescues been needed at the same time.
