Society has leaned towards Susans thoughts on dealing with idiots. Insurance is needed for operating cars, owning a home, maintaining ones health, protecting ones wealth and covering ones liability. If you create an expense for someone else, you pay the bill. A beacon will minimize the bill.

I don't care if the idiots hike nude or with snow camo on. If an idiot needs a wrecker, he or his insurance pays for the wrecker. If the idiot wants to minimize the wrecker bill, take whatever precautions necessary to guarantee not having to make the call.

If you bill them all, few will need rescue. None will need rescue twice.
