It always makes me laugh when people talk about survial training and survival experts and the like. Survival training eh?

How bloody hard is it to use a lighter and matches? or a small camp stove?

How hard would it have been for the guy to take a proper sleeping bag? Warmer clothes?

Would it have been that much bother to take a cell phone?

This dosen't require expensive training it requires common sense.
