We all want to hike safely, but is there a way to hike the safest? For some, the illusion of safety is lost when faced with the prospect of needing a rescue and the reality of the fine print. In the same vein as 'Black Mirror,' 'Have a Better One' is a satirical glimpse into a dystopia where search and rescue, like your local car wash, works on a tiered service model.

Great story . . . the service provided by search & rescue teams is beyond priceless. And being reminded of the measures we can take BEFORE heading out on any type of nature adventure cannot be emphasized too much. From advising at least one person where you're headed with your expected time-line to carrying essential supplies to wearing proper clothing and footwear -- every successful adventure is the result of many good choices, but an adventure with a tragic end can happen in seconds with one poor choice. As a former Canadian Girl Guide leader, we taught our members hiking and wilderness safety every year -- and presented each girl with a badge to symbolize their successful completion of the skills involved. As adults perhaps we should have a similar program where badges are earned for learning how not put ourselves in dangerous situations.
