Yes. Search and rescue is not an employment agency. A search and rescue organization without the necessary training to perform search and rescue doesn't help anyone.

That might depend on whether you prefer being rescued incompetently to dying alone in the wilderness, no?

An "incompetent rescue" can end up with more than one person dead in the wilderness.

Sadly, if rescue is likely to put others in danger, I'd expect to be left to die.

a bad rescue means you need to send in 4*n personel where n is the number of rescuers + original patient.

I feel the gp is just trying to win an argument in comments and not actually understand anything.
