My bumbling search efforts yielded only the above thread on the subject of "paying for SAR," a topic which as received criticism as being too frequently discussed. The above thread dates from 12/06 and I am amazed that I did not contribute to it, foaming mouth and all.

Attempts to find more threads have been unsuccessful which only shows that my search mojo is severely limited. I am sure there are more relevant threads out there, as well as there are threads on the use of guns vs. bear spray, also criticized as being too frequent.

If someone with more expertise could assemble threads on these topics, it would be a simple matter to post references to the threads and refer new readers to our assembled comments.

I don't think these subjects re worn out, and I do think there is utility in revisiting the topics from time to time, but it would be certainly useful to refer to past wisdom.

Please give me some search tips, or do the searches yourself, which is probably easier...
