"Experienced" = he's pulled dumb stunts like this before and survived.

*Didn't leave a note in the car, indicating where he was going.
*Probably didn't take water.
*Tried to find way back to car in the dark.

He was lucky to be in Hawaii, where it rains almost every day. I don't think he would have gotten away with it in the lava fields of CA, OR or WA.

But dumb luck has saved people many times before. And will again. But I'd rather not count on it, myself.
