What happens when you need a rescue in the wilderness? Who shows up? What do they do? How do they manage a situation? Do you have to pay for a rescue? Will a helicopter come? Who is in charge? How will they find me?
Wilderness rescue, search and rescue and mountain rescue are complicated topics. This is because they don't fit easily into one box. It's different everywhere you go. In this seminar, we will discuss how rescue operations work locally, how they work in other jurisdictions, and how they work internationally. In addition to that, we'll talk about tne complicated politics of search and rescue operations in a wilderness setting.
This will be a presentation that includes the opportunity for questions. Come on in and grab a drink (we have soda and beer), and talk to a professional international guide and mountain rescue volunteer about these important topics!
