Opinion: Search and rescue overwhelmed by a generation “expecting to get rescued”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:45:45 GMT

When I was leading groups into the Wyoming wilderness in the 1990s, once we left a trailhead we were on our own.If somebody got hurt, we could walk or carry the injured person out or send runners to the road to call for support. In the case of a life- or limb-threatening emergency, we could use a transponder to try to send a coded message to a passing aircraft, pleading for help.Things have definitely changed.“People expect to be rescued,” said Tod Schimelfenig, who has been on the search and rescue team for Fremont County, Wyoming, since the 1970s. “Maybe it’s that a whole generation has grown up with instant communication, and that drives what they do when they go into the wilderness.”What they do, according to Schimelfenig, is go farther and attempt more difficult objectives, which means demands on search and rescue teams have increased sharply over the last decade.The United States has a patchwork of search and rescue organizations charged with responding to backcountry emergenc...

Johnston has repeatedly expressed confidence he can secure the money to pay for his ambitious, tiny home-based homelessness plan. Still, another major question remains: Where will these communities go?“The easy sites are gone,” said outgoing City Councilwoman Robin Kniech, one of the driving forces behind the law chan...
