The brothers were connected by a radio, but Hunter was immobile in the snow and could only listen but not respond. He heard their father and his brother talking about him and searching for him.
"I found him, I found him," came over the radio, Hunter recalled.
"There was just a sigh of relief when I felt him start digging," he said. He recalled "being on my last breath" and holding it as long as he could before he was rescued.
