We contacted resources with special use equipment (airboats, jet boats, swamp buggies,etc.) and also kept the FWC apprised of other resources in route to scene throughout the night. We understood early on that manpower was not an issue, otherwise we would have deployed. I'd like to extend a sincere thanks to all of the 1st responders who assisted.

Flashlights for sure and you can never have too many of those. I used to fish on rivers in Alabama and here in Florida. I always had flashlights, crackers to eat, water to drink, bug spray, first aid kit and a lighter. In my truck I carried an extra pair of dry clothes. Glad the fella's were found and hope they feel better soon. It's a scary adventure out there in the swamp when dark comes upon you. @ Niknak50 – great idea with the orange tape or even plastic grocery bags.

They are all extremely sore and tired as well as being cut up but doing okay. This was nerve racking for us all and they had no intentions on being out there that long. They had been trying to walk out since around 2pm yesterday. I am very grateful to all that helped in the search and rescue and thankful for the Baldwin County guys that got to them and started a fire so they could warm up a little bit. No they didn't have shoes on but I'm not sure flip flops would have helped much in the muddy swamp. Again thank you to all that responded and took the time to get my family home safe.
