Words to the wise: Ride with a buddy

That was some really good info and first-hand experience, thanks for posting.

The way it works around here and, I believe, across Canada is that the RCMP are always responsible for ground search and rescue. They decide if and when SAR resources are called out and how to deploy them.

You guys have professional SAR so sounds like they get called out earlier, up here our SAR is 100% volunteer and the RCMP would probably not have called us out for something like that. They probably would have used RCMP, EMTs and/or aircraft to manage the rescue.

So basically it goes to RCMP and they make the call on the rescue.
