This is especially true because the same kind of people who will drive somewhere out of their league are more likely to also be doing so in bad conditions with inadequate preparation so the rescue team might be rushing at night, in adverse weather, etc. A couple of people I knew who went hiking or mountain biking in the BLM land east of San Diego had stories about sharing food and water with people who’d only packed driving treats and forgot that SUVs can get stuck pretty easily no matter what the ads showed.
