I cannot envisage me ever calling out the Mountain Rescue lads, as i would think long and hard, is this call for help really justified.
If i had a serious injury, which i know can happen, through thankfully i have never experienced, then i would call out the rescue team, but the situation has never arisen where i was not able to self rescue myself out of a bad situation.
Some years ago i found myself almost stuck on very technical scrambling section on the Bethesda side of Pen Yr Ole Wen (technical for me that is), and i was almost close to tears with anxiety, not being able to go up or down, but i still managed to rescue the situation,, how i still do not know, but i survived the experience, and learnt by my mistake.
Some may have called the Mountain Rescue, but thankfully the situation has never been that serious to justify their call out.
Possibly it may be a bit unwise of me to venture out into remote country without some kind of emergency kit, but i have carefully chosen my route before i venture out, and if conditions deteriorate, i make a hasty return to civilisation.
