Some good news

When the pilot bailed out his parachute leg straps were not buckled... It was reported elsewhere that the pilot landed within 1 km of Route 16, and so I bet he landed in a tree. I wonder if the unbuckled leg straps facilitated exit from the harness? Following a stream might have got him downhill to Route 16, but bushwhacking in NH is difficult due to dense undergrowth. Kudos to pilot for keeping his head and self-rescuing!
