This is something I was certainly wondering about on the day - at the time I was hanging out in the pines doing not much but was torn between "go and offer any help carrying stuff as required" vs "don't be nosy - you'll just get in the way"

In the end I didn't come and help out. Is it generally the case with arapiles rescues that extra hands will be useful?
