We should start a new thread about just that topic then JohnE.
We have been walking all over Nic's thread so hard I feel a bit embarrassed about it.
Please post as a new thread.
Given the number of stories posted about here, at least some people have some very real problems, ie, lost in Death Valley, lost at a ski resort, etc.
Should those folks have been required to show proof of adequate supplies/equipment before being allowed to head off on their great adventure? Should anyone? Would it have helped?
It is actually a good topic in its own right.
