Revelstoke Search and Rescue responded to five calls in three days last week, for a total of 46 this winter.

In a Facebook post, the group cautioned that though they are happy to rescue you they donsa国际传媒檛 rescue your stuff.

sa国际传媒淣ew sled with a mechanical issue? Nope. Touring gear that cansa国际传媒檛 fit in the heli basket? Nope. Gloves yousa国际传媒檝e left on the ground after wesa国际传媒檝e taken-off? Nope,sa国际传媒� the post reads.

As much as possible, you should be prepared to self-rescue: know where you are going, how long it will take to get there and back and what you would do if you couldnsa国际传媒檛 get back in time.

When a Search and Rescue call goes out in Revelstoke, 100 volunteers receive it.

sa国际传媒淲e drop our forks, leave our dinner, detach from our snuggle partner watching Netflix, drop our home projects, and happily head out with the goal of bringing those needing help back to safety.sa国际传媒�

While they donsa国际传媒檛 mind the sa国际传媒済rey areasa国际传媒� calls where you called early, out of precaution and everything is resolved quickly, they sa国际传媒渁rensa国际传媒檛 thrilledsa国际传媒� about the ones where other options to return safely clearly existed but a heli-lift was a nicer option.
