You preachin' to the choir.

We're fairly experienced backcountry campers, we don't mess with wandering around in bad weather not knowing where we are.

You can kill yourself in north Georgia or the Smoky Mountain park just as easily as in Oregon. Doesn't get quite as cold, but it's surprising how quickly hypothermia can set in in relatively mild winter temperatures, particularly if you get wet.

"The area is the same one where six people spent 17 snowbound days in a motor home before being rescued in March. Eventually two of those stranded decided to hike out of the mountains for help, which led to the rescue of all six. "

Hmm. so... they wait 9 days to search this spot??
