Some of his friends say that he is an experienced outdoors person, however the items listed above do not suggest that...then again we don't know the full story.

The SAR effort is out in full force today and the weather is not that great. It is currently 13C (55F) with low overcast and there is a chance of rain later today also.

I am about a 10 minute helicopter flight from the northern end of PineCone Burke Park where the search is now centered. I heard and seen helicopters yesterday, however today it is quiet in the air...possibly due to the weather.

I would think that if he is not found in the next couple of days, a decision will have to be made in regards to the search.
