Teen survives two days in the mountains by building a snow cave.

sounds like the most important thing he did was fail to panic.

Kinda renews my faith in todays youth. But he obviously didn't loisten to the survival show too closely. He had no survival kit or even pocket items most of us carry, such as a lighter or matches. Still, he did remain calm and used his head. His mom seemed a bit rude.

I bet! That's harder than it looks.
