"We don't need to tame nature, we need to keep the wild out there."

Amen.

This story reminds me of the rise in emergency calls in wild places, now that cell phones and GPS have become more common. Hello, people? Take preparation and caution, because I hear it is getting expensive "rescuing" city folk who don't respect their own boundaries, or nature's. If you head out into the wild and aren't prepared to make it out on your own should an emergency arise, don't go in. These technological advances can provide better communication, but that's no substitute for common sense and trip preparation.
