I forget about altitude in situations like this. I live around 8,000 ft and in a high valley desert surrounded by mountains that we commonly go have fun and hike.

Hypothetically, with the cold weather, he couldn’t have survived for long, so the search radius wouldn’t need to be that large. The only thing I can think of is that he wiggled himself into a small spot and was never found. Off-topic, I hike year-round, and I know that when it’s cold out, you often feel motivated to find a spot out of the wind and stop moving. But I always remind myself that in an emergency situation, the safest and smartest thing to do is to keep walking because staying in motion helps you stay warm.

In areas where people go missing, there should be signage saying to keep an eye out for clues like the lost fishing pole. I know when I’m hiking off trail quite often and I find random objects.

Excellent video 🧐👍

Lighting the fires was genius. They did so many things right, it’s hard to believe they never found even a trace of him.

Well, I don't think there was any mishap on this trip, per se. I knew the altitude could be a problem and my goal was to get in and out in a short time (hopefully before the sickness kicked in). Sometimes, I do have bad luck, though. Like getting hit by a monsoon in the desert.
