Agreed these folks are not the sharpest tools on the work bench. I’d bet they didn’t have even a pocket knife & book of matches between the lot of them . Let alone a “space blanket” or the knowledge to even set up a lean to shelter & start a camp fire . As for have a map sheet of were they were going & a compass that is obviously more than they could figure out how to use.
I'm guessing that the reason they went picking mushroom is that they couldn't pay for recreational chemicals on their EBT card.
