  A sudden cardiac arrest victim has a 10-minute window in which the heart needs to be jump-started, said Cindy Weigelt, the chapter's executive director.
  
  "Shocking a heart back to a normal rhythm is the only way to save a person from dying from sudden cardiac arrest," Weigelt said.
  
  "It's a matter of life and death."
  
  Camp Pico Blanco is south of Carmel and 13 miles and east of Highway 1.The 800-acre site sits down a steep and rocky road at the end of Palo Colorado Canyon.
  
  The icy Little Sur River flows through the camp.Redwoods cast their cool shade across it.
  
  ...
  Because of the rugged road into Pico Blanco, it took the ambulance half an hour to reach the scene, Weigelt said.
  
  The person died.
  
  ...
  Studies have shown that the AED is so easy to use a 12-year-old can operate one, Weigelt said.
  
  The American Heart Association hopes to raise more money to buy more AEDs to loan to the community, Weigelt said.Each costs roughly $3,500 to $5,000.

  Cindy Weigelt, executive director of the Central Mission Trails Division of the American Heart Association, explained that the new generation of defibrillators are lightweight, low maintenance, easy to use and relatively inexpensive at $3,000 each.
  
  "Now they are affordable enough to get them into the community," she said.
  
  The American Heart Association is providing the seed money to start the program, which is currently in "the infant stages," Weigelt said.
  
  People in remote or difficult-to-reach areas can die while waiting for an ambulance.
  
  Two years ago, a man participating in a Boy Scout camping trip with his son died of cardiac arrest because no one in the group had access to a defibrillator.Nowadays, Weigelt loans out her defibrillator to the Boy Scout groups camping in remote areas "so that incident never happens again."
  
  CHOMP is still working on a list of places where the public would most benefit from having access to the defibrillators.
  ...
  "The machines are idiot proof," Weigelt said.
  
  She explained that the device is so sophisticated it will read the heartbeat of a patient to determine if it is chaotic or uneven -- or not there at all.If a person doesn't need it, the defibrillator will not deliver a shock.
  
  "Your kids won't be able to zap each other with a defibrillator," Weigelt said.Also, state and federal law protects people from being held liable if they try to help someone whose heart has stopped.
