I'm with Kieran - the possibility of hurting myself guides my risk assessment far more than the cost of rescue. Having said that, I quite like the access to emergency service provided by modern technology. Back in the 90s I didn't even have a mobile phone. You just accepted that if shit happened, you had to get yourselves out or manage the situation until someone fetched help. Now I'm quite happy to have my EPRIB on remote trips. Good judgement can't always prevent medical emergencies like heart attacks, strokes, DKA, snake bites, pancreatitis ... even bad sprains and slipped discs when you are a week's walk from help. I've never had to use it, but I like the idea that I can should I need it.
