SEKI NPS "Emergency Locator Device Advisory"
Professional Sierra Landscape Photographer
I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

A friend lent me "The Last Season" by Eric Blehm. It is humbling to get the perspective from the Search and Rescue side of the fence.

I think that memo is good advice but changes nothing. No consequence for stupid, unnecessary use.

Yeah that's cool, but they need to implement heavy fines or have the person/persons
pay for the SAR's related costs, otherwise there will be no changes, if folks continue to
use these services frivolously.

Re: SEKI NPS "Emergency Locator Device Advisory"
guess we don't know how frivolously buttons are pressed.. yet to see a report on it, but I've seen a SAR chopper in the air every other year on my trips. Pressing the Help button can also send someone at home into a panic, causing a response. SOS is more clear.
