[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1740430, member: 54178"] Prayers for him as well as the rescuers. As a former Ski Patroller, both Nordic (XC) and alpine, and former Army winter survival instructor I can say that if you are a hunter you need[I] survival skills [/I]and [I]survival gear. [/I] Ex. -> Recently I added a light survival "space blanket" mummy bag shell half the size of a pop can to my hunting/back country skiing pack. Keeps in radiant heat and protects from rain or wet snow. -> I always, but always, carry a SPOT satellite rescue beacon. $130. plus a $120. yearly subscription. Cheap insurance. States should [U]require[/U] hunters and all others entering the wilds to carry a rescue beacon. It would save a lot of grief and money. -> My hunting pack also has extra food, clothing, and fire building gear and part of the [B]TEN ESSENTIALS[/B] that I always carry. If this hunter is found alive I hope he takes [U]survival readiness[/U] to heart after his harrowing "lesson" from Mother Nature. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
