- bell-cot 3y agoI would not be so harsh. They had limited resources, no familiarity whatever with how unforgiving and lethal the wilderness of the American West can be, and made what the local search & rescue folks seem to regard a series of "reasonable, but ultimately tragic" assumptions & decisions.

- fred_is_fred 3y agoAgreed. The sheer scale of the western US in terms of distances, emptiness, and climate hazards are lost on a lot of people from Europe where the next town is 5 miles away and there's probably a nice train to take you there and if you don't make it, it's 65 anyway and there's a stream 100 meters away at all times.
