I can't watch that one. It's been posted before.
I said that people should be forced to watch a couple of body recoveries, but people should watch a few sars. It ain't fast and it ain't easy. Don't get into trouble, then, if you do, get yourself out. If that ain't going to happen, then call SAR.
A lot of people, adhere to this. If a victim thinks this way, you can't help but want to help them.
This Aconcauga thing looks like the debate any first responder makes, weight and time vs. gear. The oldest debate in the book for climbers too. They got burned and failed, but most of the time it works. They ran up naked and had no back up plan, no cavalry coming.
It's a common mistake.
You know that guy who's pack is always too heavy so you make fun of him? He's the guy you need when the sh#t hits, him and three more like him.
