>not get lost in a snowstormExpecting the snow to go away or rescue to come on a logging road in the mountains in late November wasn't brilliant, but they didn't realize it was a logging road. After the first 24 hours of snow falling and no cars coming they should've gotten the message that help was not on the way and tried to get back to a more heavily traveled area. At this point they still had gas in the car. They should have kept an eye on the snow depth and turned back toward the bigger road once it started to get deeper than a few inches.
>use the shovel in the back to dig out of the snowdrift and attempt to drive back the way you cameIf the snow has gotten too deep for that they should've turned around a while ago. They do keep a shovel in the car during the winter, right?
>Nope, the snow's too deep, the car's not going anywhere. Use your baofeng and see if you can ask any boomers on the air to come save you.
>what kind of loser travels with a radio?Send one person back along the road to wave down a car on the highway. Don't leave the road like a retard, you know for a fact it leads back to a bigger highway. If you haven't heard from him in 24 hours assume the worst. Make sure he takes a coat and some snacks, which you packed because you're leaving the city in the winter.
>You don't hear from him in 24 hours because he got hypothermia and drowned in the creek as a complication of being retardedYou've already tried everything else so just try your best to keep warm in the car and hope someone notices your absence and finds you, unless you have reason to believe you'll be more successful if you try to walk out on the road.
Their inability to follow roads killed him, with their lack of experience with snow as an aggravating factor.
