A korean man died in the wilderness while trying to get help for his family that got stuck in the snow bound car on remote mountain road.

this is a common situation for many people whose car can get stuck in the winter. What would you guys do if your car is stuck in snow in the mountain. Rescuers know the man wasn't equiped with survival gear for the winter.

well i would grab my car kit in the back of my car, pray,plan, and pray some more. I'd do what id have to ,to continue to live. This does remind me,that I need to put a better blanket in my car.

where does it say he died? it says they're still looking for him.

I carry a ham radio in my car I would fire it up and start calling (I always have a map of repeaters for the area I'm traveling in and to) but, then again I like so many others on this forum are and always will be Equipped To Survive!!! (Sorry Doug)
