"For those who go out unprepared and get lost there are groups such as North Shore Search and Rescue. This mix of police officers, EMS paramedics and civilians from Sudbury, Manitoulin Island, Elliot Lake and Espanola keep their people-finding skills sharp by training year round. Just recently they completed a mock winter rescue at Camp Thompson in Elliot Lake.
While a lost person might enjoy seeing one of these orange-suited rescuers it would be better if they prepared themselves before going out into the bush. Before heading out, always let someone know where you are going and when you expect to be back, and don't change the plan after you leave. It could cost you your life."
