Not being familiar with that area (can anyone provide a UTM waypoint for the car?), did Mr. Kim even have a chance to survive? How far would he have had to walk to get to the nearest civilization?
This event/thread is really making me think about purchasing a PBL. My family is going to visit Glacier National Park next year. We're going by train so we'll have to pack relatively light (minimum kit). I can't help but think how easy it might be to take a wrong turn, drive a few miles, and then for one reason or another get stuck. Sigh.
My wife would think I'm nuts for spending $600 on a little box that I hope not to ever use.
