the emergency?
The water they had found to quench their thirst “tasted salty.”
After the rescuers came, the yuppies called them again the next day and one more time the day after.
You got to be kidding me. These people should made pay for their stupidity. Charge them $20,000 per incident and you’ll see how false alerts are no longer a problem.
Amen! Endangering rescuers’ lives so yuppies can experience the outdoors with limited downside (death) is beyond ridiculous. It’s also an insult to those who have spent years acquiring the skills and equipment to do it legitimately and safely and to taxpayers who have to foot the bill for their folly. Make ‘em pay.
