Yeah they *have* to go get you, did you truly *have* to be there? All for freedom and you doing your thing, so long as others aren't obligated to act on your behalf. How is this not fair and accountable?

>>2859256
sounds like colorado

>>2859263
in colorado they add a search and rescue fee for every license i buy so i have already paid the fee? theyre obligated as far as im concerned.

>>2859256
There's a difference between rescuing an unlucky tourist and a retarded tourist

>>2859291
i thought everyone was equal

Suicide is illegal in the majority of the world.
Supporting suicide is also illegal.

>>2859256
Sounds to me like you shouldn't have said where you went winter hiking and just left it up to peoples imagination

>>2859308
Canada suddenly becomes the top mountaineering destination.

Imagine signing up to do a job only to bitch and whine when you have to do that job. SAR are such pussies.

>>2859263
They chose to rescue someone. The fault of their exposure to risk is their own.

People who do this sort of dangerous volunteer work aren’t doing it without compensation. They get a narcissistic kick knowing people see them as heros. Not that the side effect of this is bad.

>>2859308
Is it as usual where the punishment for a successful attempt is punished by more year in prison than an unsuccessful attempt?
Also how many years on average?

I just don't understand, if SAR doesn't like rescuing people, why apply for a job that requires you to rescue people?

>>2859256
If you want to hike up a mountain in a snowstorm, do it without telling anyone so nobody has to come and get you

>search and rescue fee for every license i buy
the what for what?

>>2859413
You must contribute to the rescue of morons because they can't pay for it on their own even though they'll get into these situations on their own without asking us

>>2859413
hunting and fishing licenses and its 25 cents and per state law cannot charge me for rescue. tell me who is really winning? me who can do whatever i want and get rescued for free or fags scared of going outside because they might get hurt and need rescued

>>2859422
>hunting and fishing licenses
Oh, ok. Makes sense, I think.
I thought you needed a going-outside loicense or something, kek.
Very European approach, I like it.

>>2859290
Except in cases of negligence on the part of the hiker, I don't believe the patient ever gets charged for rescue except for helicopter/ambulance services. I work for the feds and in my experience everyone who comes to haul your ass out is either a volunteer who wants to be there, or an employee who is making $70/hour overtime and is secretly hoping you'll limp slower.

>>2859424
I too think it's a nice idea, but I wonder how it works in practice. Like you just wave your fishing license at the helicopter pilot as you're being loaded on?
If the permit is about to expire, I'd be tempted to just climb the highest mountain I possibly can, then call for a life-flight just to save the trouble of hiking down. Do this once a year.

>>2859256
I am sorry for the injustice, but anyone who posts videos of themselves outdoors deserves to suffer.

>>2859256
Canceled in what way? Some old bitch whined on facebook?

>>2859424
>Very European approach
In many places on the european continent you have to pay for specialistic rescue such as on mountains and in caves, as it should be, and it's extra expensive if it involves a helicopter which it usually does.

>>2859357
At one point in time the punishment for attempted suicide was death.

>>2859298
Nope, and never have been.
>but muh all men are created equal
and they cease being equal the moment they take their first breaths.

>>2859256
I agree...there needs to be some kind of paperwork you can do that relieves S&R from having to look for you if you ever go "missing"...save a whole lot of tax payer dollars

>>2859764
what exactly do you want our search and rescue heros to do if they dont go out and be the big hero and save the day? just lay them off or what?

>>2859766
yup, go get a job with the coast guard...no ones entitled employment

>>2859263
ur retarded. OP pays taxes and is a citizen of the land. he should be able to walk wherever he wants to unless it’s trespassing on posted private property. if search and rescue have to find him then they are doing the bare minimum, which is their job.

>>2859764
they are paid regardless. you have no idea how organizational structure, taxes, payments, or employment works.

Search & Rescue is mandated by law. It isn't an elective service just randomly provided. The state and the county mandate that they exist. The county or respective area is legally on the hook for it. And they're all volunteers. I've worked with their k9 teams a bunch at my clinic.

>>2861163
uhm... then, like, don't volunteer, nigga tf? you're not being drafted, shit.

>>2861163
And who enforces and creates these laws?
Who selects persons to become members of search and rescue?
Not OP. For OP to be the wrong, he’d have to be responsible for both.
You act as if OP enslaves people into S&R then, like a maniacal Roman emperor sets rigged gladiatorial games where he demands they rescue him from situations engineered to be lethal to his ‘saviours’.
