After spending 4 days in the wilderness, in the snow. And did anyone catch the news footage of Dad scrambling out of the chopper? What did he have in his hands? A DeWalt cordless sawzall! They must be loving that! And he used it to chop down some branches to build a shelter, which is the only way they survived the blizzard. Betcha a DeWalt-sponsored made-for-tv movie comes out of this.

Doesn't always help. We just had a guy I think in NH that got lost. He was an experienced outdoorsman and his GPS wasn't working correctly. It got him lost. Still need the basics in the woods, know how to find your way.

Was this the ones that holed up in a culvert?
