Police rescued two unprepared hunters from a Southland forest who risked spending a night in sub-zero temperatures without proper gear. The hunters had become lost in the dark after losing a trail near the top of the Longwood Range. Both were fortunate to find cell phone coverage and communicate their location, as they lacked essential survival equipment such as a personal locator beacon, GPS, and map.
