Truly.

I went out for a backpack this past Sat/Sun. At the trailhead, there was a day hiker there with shorts (cotton) and a sweatshirt (cotton) on. She had no backpack. She only had a very small fanny pack with a water bottle on one side and a stuff sack (looked like it might have held a windbreaker) on the other. The forecast was for 40% chance of snow. It didn't snow that day, but I awoke to frost on the ground the next morning. That's a bit chilly for shorts and no supplies.

I see this all the time when I'm out, so I shouldn't react to it anymore, but it's just so astounding to me. Have they never heard that unprepared people die in the wilderness? I just can't fathom it.
