Anybody think of a good reason why this wouldn't work with people?

It is a common tactic in at least one MRT used to coax team members out of hiding for kit & vehicle clean night.

Well, it's been alleged I can smell the beer from the top of the last Munro of the day, regardless of wind direction or distance!  So it *could* work

Why wait till the last one? Once lunch has been consumed you are  oficially on the downslope to the pub.

Be real quiet and you can hear it, a very faint "drink me, drink me,...."

"Two members of Dundonnell Mountain Rescue Team went back to the scene of the rescue on Monday in their own time."

That's right, they were being handsomely rewarded when 'on shift' the previous day!

Cheers, Jamie.

What if the lost soul was a vegetarian, vegan, Buddhist or even just a picky eater? A whole range of tempting treats will have to be carried to get a result. I'm sure those big helicopters can be modified to be more like burger vans as well, wafting aromas across a wider area?

Even if hypothermic and half dead I'm sure they'd make the effort to come tell you that you were morally degenerate and there was no justification for eating sausages.

In today's world of inclusivity this is an appalling attitude. I know this is in no way scientific but all my Buddhist friends tell me that merely inhaling sausage smoke means one more reincarnation cycle at least. Probably as a burger flipper! The Dalai Lama recommends Linda Macartney red onion bangers for this sort of thing.

"Inclusivity" is soooo last February. It's all "self-isolating" now. Do try to keep up
