" They are now reporting the trackers found a pair of pants that belonged to James Kim."
Not good.
He also apparently has no hat and no gloves in freezing temperatures...
He could have used these pants ?
If he dropped these pants to mark the spot he went in, it was a big mistake. It tells me he doesnt know as much as they are saying about the woods. You mark with a tree limb or something. You never discard anything that would help you to survive. Those drawers could'a been torn to cover his head and wrap his feet and hands-the three most important areas of heat loss, especially the head. In cold weather, if you keep your head and feet warm you can sustain in cold weather quite a long time. The hands can be kept a tad warm by flailing your arms across your back driving the warmth down to the hands.
