Some good news in the news.

[laughingbeetle]

This guy came home alive. Short article but it sounds as though he knew his stuff. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43072266/ns/us_news/

[crashdive123]

Not only did he know his stuff, but his equipment (emergency beacon) came in handy as well.

[Rick]

It's amazing what a little knowledge, experience and common sense can get you through.

[Alaskan Survivalist]

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. He was only lost for 3 days and needed to be rescued. Had he known anymore it may have killed him.

[Rick]

He knew enough to push the button on the SPOT.

[BENESSE]

God forbid if a "former Marine and Special Forces soldier with extensive experience as a back country hiker" couldn't have hacked it in his own habitat.
I'd love to know a little more about what all he had on him, did with it and what his plan was.

[Sourdough]

It's amazing what a little knowledge, experience and common sense can get you through.
