Also the Lt from the State Police repeatedly said that they thought that he might be leaving his pants as a sign for the rescuers to track him.

Hopefully lurkers from the city will not start removing their clothing if they become lost in freezing temperatures in the future.

It would have been helpful for the Lt. and the sheriff to recommend to any future lost city people to build small rock mounds or rock arrows if one is trying to leave signs for rescuers who might be tracking.

A list of stuff to carry in the trunk might have been useful for the sheriff to recommend for others in the future.

Yep. Some people just don't know how to survive in the wilderness. Sometimes it just doesn't matter, but you can increase your odds of surviving.

Not at all trying to make light conversation, but a while back on a popular leftist board we all know and loathe, the topic of surviving the Bush armageddon came up. One of the exalted survivalists had praise heaped on them because they knew how to cook on a propane grill at home. That was their extent of survivalism. They were not joking either, that really was roughing it to them.
