2 Guys die hunting Bigfoot

I mean the article states that is was weather related and ill-preparedness. So yes 40 degree temps can kill you if you are not prepared, hypothermia can set in and kill you. Just because some of you may know how to survive and have presence of mind to be prepared does not mean these men did, and it certainly does not mean that they couldn't have died from exposure due cool temps and poor planning.

Never underestimate the power of stupid and the danger of "we know what we are doing."

This is a Dunning-Kruger effect as applied to a forest in a not ideal weather situation.

Again, I feel sad for the families and searchers.

I walk my dog more prepared than these two. Anywhere off the beaten track I've got my rucksack with everything I would need in a survival situation should I have an accident or what not.

Stay alert & stay alive.

Let's think about this for a moment...

Two guys (people) decide to go out searching for Big Foot on...Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve!

Regardless of how interested I might be in Big Foot, I'm damn sure not going to go looking for him on...Christmas Eve!!

Does Big Foot celebrate Christmas??? What?? Then why go looking for him on...Christmas Eve??? Let's party with Big Foot??

Crazy??

Next...upwards of (60) rescuers, including the US Coast Guard, go looking for these idiots for the next (96) hours, ruining (60) Christmas celebrations with family and countless millions of dollars.

Okay, are we in the Christmas mood yet???

Ultimately, these two knuckleheads are found dead (pretty much as expected, given the weather). So, Merry Christmas to the SAR guys (not!), and Merry Christmas to the families (not), and Merry Christmas to the victim's survivors (probably a bunch of crackheads in Portland). Wow!

All because why??? Big Foot is really Santa??? What??

Is Sasquatch related to Charles Darwin?

I have gone hiking alone in the forests and mountains in winter, but I had my 10E and gear with me!

Sounds like these guys were just out hiking in a drizzly rain in cotton shirts and sneakers.

It happened in Washington, Skamania county, 2 stupid humans go looking for Sasquatch, you would think the 59 year old would be a little more prepared, they could have survived by hugging to stay warm, they definitely get the Darwin Award.
