Instagram honeypot sites, navigational technologies and the costs of SAR.

In the third episode your hosts Richard Prideaux and Ben G talk about a recent news story from the Peak District in the UK where an unprepared group set out to find a plane wreckage in adverse weather conditions. Are social media honeypot sites increasing the number of people venturing out unprepared?

Luke Stonestreet joins in to discuss navigation technology, from different compass types to GPS devices and SAR specific software.

Finally, Richard and Ben tackle the latest topic "Should SAR teams charge for services?"
