"He's probably dehydrated, sleep-deprived, definitely hungry," said Brennan's father, Toby. "With him being so young at 11, I don't think he's thinking about what he needs to do to survive because he's never been in that environment."

"Brennan's mother said the boy had a lot of outdoor experience. His father said the boy is shy and might not approach a stranger to confess he is lost."

"Brennan carried no food or water, and his family said he did not have a good sense of direction."

I am a little confused. The statements seem to contradict each other... "had a lot of outdoor experience" and yet "never been in that environment."

Thank goodness he was found. Time to recheck my son's day pack.
