You never want to hear someone screaming in the woods, but there’s a difference between someone yelling “HELP!”, and someone yelling, “AND THIS IS HOW YOU REMIND ME, OF WHAT I REALLY AM!”
Last Thursday, a search and rescue team in British Columbia, Canada was called to a remote hiking and climbing area in the woods, after a couple hikers reported hearing “repeated cries.”
When they arrived, the team heard “faint yelling” and closed in on the area. Eventually, they found a man who was camping alone, but he wasn’t in distress. He was just “singing his heart out to the trees, belting out Nickelback’s greatest hits.” (Are we SURE he wasn’t in distress???)
The first responders thanked the hikers who called it in, just in case. The search manager added, “And remember, our services are always free. And the money you save could be spent on singing lessons.”
(FYI: Nickelback formed in Canada, in the neighboring province of Alberta. They were originally a cover band called “Village Idiot.”)
