Thanks Doug.

I read a brief report a few days ago on this missing man in which the details were only a brief rewrite job of the official RCMP press release and today, this NP story provides a much more in depth insight and background of the missing person.

I doubt that the RCMP or SAR will spend much, if any resources in attempting to search for this missing person with no real clues to go on other then what they have now. Like many before him, if this missing person did indeed head off into the wild and did not find his way out, he will become part of the Yukon's growing collection of stories of people who have made the pilgrimage north for the ultimate gamble and lost.

As I near my departure date for a solo 9 day wildnerness venture, it is news stories such as these that really enforce to me, the concepts and wisdom of being fully prepared and also fully cognizent of the harsh reality that these types of trips can go drastically wrong at any time no matter how experienced or inexperienced that a person is.
