Mountain rescue safety tips
Range Rover Blues:
I don't like the idea either, but mountain resuce are volunteers and at the moment they are being taken advantage of by people who obvioulsy don't know better.

Its a RTI "Road traffic incident" Not that we actually bother saying that, it Crash, or what ever comes to mind.
Disco Matt:
I wonder if a decent TV advert campaign might help? Something nicely shocking - maybe show someone shivering with apparent hypothermia followed by a caption "Antarctica? No, Snowdon. British weather can kill the poorly equipped".
Sad part is, some people will ignore all the warning signs/leaflets/adverts you can throw at them!
vtrdaz:
I think a good idea - and one we adopt - be it MR , air ambulance , RNLI etc , whenever you see a collection - make a small donation , however small.
You personally might not need them , but somebody you know might.
In my eyes it's a small donation well spent - even though it is more likely to cover the rescues of the ill equipped and stupid............
hobbit:
The thing is they are like the RNLI solely funded by donations, unlike the government paid services
Can a charity charge for their services?
Yes the ambulance service can, as has been discussed
Also the foreign mountain rescue groups mentioned above are they charity or funded another way?
