This year (2011) the legislature proposed a bill to require the department of resources and development to solicit lease proposals for the Cannon mountain ski area that would be secured by mid 2012. 50K of the proceeds of the lease agreement would be deposited into the search and rescue fund in...

This year (2011) the legislature proposed a bill to establish a $3 hiker fee imposed on persons occupying sleeping accommodations of the AMC and the RMC. This fee would be on a per night bases. This fee would be deposited into the search and rescue fund. Based upon statistics provide by the AMC...

Do share what ever facts you have. I assume you went to the meeting yesterday and today? Those meeting minutes will be public information eventually. Your statement would seem to indicate that this isn't a funding issue in the eyes of F&G.

Again, I'm not interested in opinions just facts. I'll leave discussions of opinions to others. In 2007 the legislature proposed a bill that would modify F&G responsibilities for search and rescue operations to exclude the national forest lands in the state. F&G would not be authorized to...

In 2003 the legislature proposed a bill that would require F&G to implement a program to bond all hikers, mountain climbers and rock climbers with sufficient surety and for the benefit of the state. Any fees, expenses or penalties for search and rescue would be recovered from the bond. The bond...

In 1993 the legislature proposed a bill to establish access and use fees for the state park system. $1 of the access and use fee would be designated for the search and rescue fund.

Well, Lonnie is going to give er another go, this winter, with a new strategy. After reading the blog, a few questions came to my mind. 1. What is he bringing for food that doesn't require cooking? 2. Is the NPS requiring him to pay the full cost for any rescues due to the dangers involved? 3...

Thanks for this link. It fills in a missing piece of the puzzle for me. Actually, according to the engineering report supplied by Eddie there are numerous disposal or treatment options. The article goes on to list multiple disposal/treatment options. Interesting read. Warning: your eye may...

The drive, determination, talent and experience that it takes to complete these large lists, safely, is truly inspirational. Congratulation. How many peaks on the NEng 3K list?

Although I'm interested in facts finding for this overall issue, now that this recent search is over and the outcome was good, I'm going to throw out some numbers to try to estimate how much this search is going to cost the SAR fund. 1. The vast majority of individuals involved were...

While we wait for the above answer.... (hint: Ahole told you) Every year NH Fish and Game charges expenditures against the Search and Rescue Fund (sticks their hand into the bucket of money and pulls out some coins) What are those expenditures for? (what does F&G spend those coins on?)

Are you suggesting, in a modern day survival situation, folks that hike with dogs should...... Wow, I bet a thread like that could go a few pages. :D

hikebikeskifish - I'm deducting points (for your last post) it wasn't concise. :) There is a Fish and Game Department. There is a search and rescue fund created by the Legislature. (bucket of money dedicated for S&R activities) The search and rescue fund is administered by the Fish and Game...

Thank you for being (not so :)) concise, unfortunately that doesn't answer my question. That quote speaks to the F&G department not the SARs fund.

Thank you for being concise, unfortunately that doesn't answer my question.

That's when men were men. Use ponies to carry supplies. When their usefulness as packanimals is over you eat them. Efficient. :)

Still spinning our wheels Of course the problem with discussions comprised entirely of opinions is, opinions may be based upon information that is incorrect, misleading or otherwise erroneous. Therefore the discussion may be meaningless and fruitless. Thank you for concisely defining the...

Well, that didn't answer my question, but thanks for trying. So as to be clear, for the sake of some facts: Other than NH, some views members and 2 national parks, is there any other state, organization, entity, club or backyard barbeque group that advocates either a mandatory fee pre-rescue...
