Don't use dog leashes when going down into the privy to get your dropped cell phone

[HFS]

Her dog leash plan failed. Fire Department had to fetch her out of there.

"Brinnon Fire Department Chief Tim Manly said the woman, who was at the top of Mount Walker in the Olympic National Forest northwest of Seattle, had been using her phone when it fell into the toilet...
Manly said she disassembled the toilet seat and used dog leashes to try and get the phone and eventually used the leashes to tie herself off as she reached for it. That effort failed and she fell into the toilet headfirst.
'They didn’t work very well and in she went,' Manly said.
The woman was alone and tried to get out for 10 to 15 minutes. Reunited with her phone, she called 911, Manly said.
Responding firefighters passed her blocks to stand on to reach a harness, which they used to pull her out of the vault. The Brinnon Fire Department said the woman said she was uninjured.
She was washed down and 'strongly encouraged to seek medical attention after being exposed to human waste, but she only wanted to leave,' the department said."

I hesitate to call her lucky, but cell phone reception around My Walker is almost none existent. She's actually really lucky to have gotten a call out of the vault.

I would have written off the phone!

The vent for the pit probably served as an antenna.

Hope she didn’t yell for help on the way down.
