The show would be survivorman.
He made a judgement call to go for help after 6 days with no rescue in sight. His family was in a stable (but not good) situation. I think anybody could have made that choice especially seeing their kids freezing and asking to be rescued. It is tough to stay put.
There have been three other similar situations like this in this area over the last few years (at least to what I remember) and in all three of those cases if someone had not left to go get help the families would have never been found. Earlier this year on the same road a family was missing in their RV and they were found because two people left to go get help. If they can't find an RV on a road in the snow how would expect your car to be found.
Can't blame the guy...and if he were found first and brought rescue to the family what would everyone be saying.
He was faced with an impossible situation and he tried to do something about it. Can't fault him for that.
Oh yeah, I mean, unless we are actually THERE, and can look around take full appreciation of the situation, we can't make the call for the guy. He might have decided that chances of them being spotted were slim, he's the only one who can make that call..
It seems like a few people die this way every winter in the Canadian Rockies when they get trapped in a snowstorm on a road trip.
