A case of Darwinism at play
One of the most important survival skills in my oppinion is the ability to listen to and take advice from the locals. Specially when the locals are the
local mountain rescue team, that has to go up there and rescue your precious little selfish behind when you totally fail!
Like today in West norway where conditions are like this at the famous Pulpit rock:
Attachment 13752
The local mounatin rescue team have all day been pressent at the car park at the beinning of the trail up there,
begging people not to hike up to the Pulpit du to heavy rain and fog. And most of the people totally disregarded their advice.
The resulting toll:
1 person stuck on the trail with a heart condition
1 person has a broken leg
and dozens of people are going down due to exposure as their clothes are not good enough for the conditions
The police has now arrived to close the trail, while mountain rescue is walking the tourists down in three shifts, while trying to
rescue those who cant self rescue.
Btw
This is what tehy came for:
