B.C. rescue groups are warning about the risk of relying too heavily on technology, including chatbot and apps, when venturing into the wilderness.

A recent rescue on the slopes of Unnecessary Mountain prompted Lions Bay Search and Rescue team leader Brent Calkin to run some test questions through an AI chatbot.

“A snow-free hike I can do in May near Vancouver ” led to Buntzen Lake and Quarry Rock .

In winter , people may still be seeking those views and not realize that there’s going to be snow.

Facebook groups and Reddit hiking forums can be one of the best places to get current information.

Don’t count on cell reception in the backcountry and download any maps before you go.
