He had a map and compass. Apparently he didn't use them or doesn't know how to use them.

Did he ever explain WHY he was on that tiny island in the first place? And if he skied onto the island, why couldn't he ski off of it but had to strip down and SWIM in ice cold water to get off the island. "In truth, he was dangerously confused." No kidding! I've heard some people loose their orientation and get a bit delirious while out in the woods but this must have happened very early in his excursion.

"Yet, having a plan, sufficient supplies, a map, compass and the will to survive were things that he did correctly, (Incident Commander) Almos added."
-- Unhuh... OK... sure.... That's why he abandoned most of his supplies? I can't agree with his assessment of the situation. That was surprisingly generous of him to say that.
