Sorry bushy, I do not agree.
Whatever your philosophy in who provides what at how much cost and who pays, there are always risks that the huge distances involved preclude services from being available. Short of having a fully equipped hospital at every campsite in the desert, or an ambulance following every traveller along the Gunbarrel Highway, it is impossible to
guarantee a level of emergency services response. Therefore, "there is a
risk that emergency help may not always be available"
You choose to go to remote places - you choose to accept that risk, knowingly or otherwise.
