I will NEVER take this kind of trip even if I was WAAAY more prepared than her, 'cause I can't guarantee that a heart attack won't choose that time to flatten me and leave the kid alone in the middle of nowhere.
That is an excellent point. A lot of heart attack victims didn't know they had a heart problem, or the extent of it.
I camp in popular, developed campgrounds, hike with others and don't have children with me.
It's just a whole nother ballgame when a child is 100% dependent on you.
I hope this woman never Googles herself -- a particularly cruel modern twist on such debacles.
