I volountered in the mountain rescue service for some time.
The only fun search and rescue was when this one retarded tourist decided to go hike to the top of the mountain, in winter, with nothing but a thin spring jacket and no gloves, no hat, at dusk, and a almost dead phone battery. Obviously the night fell and he had no idea where he was or where to go. We got called to go find him, so we went, it wasn't much of a search cuz we knew roughly where he was, but it was fun to go search cuz there was snow falling, and the snow was deep, and we took a big shortcut over a terrain that had no trails on it so we were walking knee deep in snow the entire way, and the light from the head lamps made snow glitter in a really beautiful way and there was this light fog over the mountain that made the vibe even more beautiful somehow, i felt as in a fairytail almost, for some reason the mountain just looked far more beautiful that night than any other time i was there. Anyhow we found him, he was fine aside from the very minor hypothermia symptoms. He did one thing clever tho in that he brought a laser with him which he was just shining in random directions. And once we got to where we roughly thought he was, we were pretty soon able to spot his laser through the fog. There was a few other sorta kinda fun mountain searches, but most were just grid searches, or whatever you call that in english, and those are not fun at all. You just walk for a really long time checking everything in your grid, and pretty much never find anything
