Just curious, have you ever "rescued" anyone (human or animal) on the trail? I'm more curious about private, individual efforts that never receive publicity than those that are part of an officially organized SAR effort, but either is fine. I suspect that altruism runs high in the hiking community out on the trail. "Rescue" can include anything from minor "trail magic" to major haul-'em-out endeavors. And, yes, I'm expecting some humorous answers about "saving" one another from our worst impulses. I believe that the issue of responsibility and liability has been discussed thoroughly in other threads, but I can't find them. Perhaps someone else can provide a link for those who want to read about all that.
