Have a Better One

Have a Better One
We all want to hike safely, but is there a way to hike the safest? For some, the illusion of safety is lost when faced with the prospect of needing a rescue and the reality of the fine print. In the same vein as 'Black Mirror,' 'Have a Better One' is a satirical glimpse into a dystopia where search and rescue, like your local car wash, works on a tiered service model.
