that means that they were potential stuck and in the same place for 7 days without seeing a soul. do you think that maybe he decided that he didn't want to watch his family die right in front of him?
this man should be respected, not ridiculed. he gave his life in trying to save his family. it's only unfortunate that all he had to do was wait for a few more days, but how could he know? they had seen no one for a week!
Ok so he stayed with the car, smart move. He still left the road which was a sure thing in trade for the culvert which means holes under the snow, water hazzards and unknown directions once off the road.
Shouldn't be ridiculed? You are right he should be held as a shining example of how you go into a snow region during winter. Preperations and having extra gear with you is not needed when you can just load the family into the minivan with no blankets, water, flares or emergency equipment.
Yep...fucking genius he should be a god in all our eyes
