I had considered experimenting with drone deliveries for people out on a trail or mountain climbing. One time I was climbing Mt. Jefferson and thought to myself that I'd probably pay $10 for a hotdog at that moment. When I climb Rainier, I spend the better part of a day melting snow and cooking meals that aren't particularly appealing after having exerted myself. I could send pizza and beer up there via drone and tack on a $15 delivery fee. The cost in "fuel" would be 5 cents, and the cost of the drone amortized over many deliveries.
Search and rescue should be drones by now. Instead of 1 expensive helicopter searching, you get 20 people with drones to cover a grid using GPS and 4k cameras.
