I got the following link to a New York Times editorial. It's about deep, backcountry rescue.

This one will spark a conversation.

Another story from an old guy about how his adventures were more impressive.

How many of the so-called 'adventurers' today would leave home if they knew they couldn't depend on Mommykins rescuing them?
