Well God could've fucking helped a little bit then, eh?

Yeah, well fuck them. Except the kid. Fuck them for bringing the kid. You want to escape society, fine. But bring the kid after you've figured out how to survive in the wilderness.
can you even imagine? in these situations the kid would be lucky if it died first. if not, the kid was kept alive by the adults long enough for it to watch the adults die, then the kid had to die alone in the tent while it waited in the cold just for nobody to come and help. poor thing. I'm terrified just writing this out.
People can't survive in the wilderness. At least without a decent size community to support them. There are folks who make it years alone with training and knowledge, but you are always just one mistake or circumstance away from death. Humans are not built to survive alone.
Well 'They watched YouTube videos' so really what more could they have done?
You're right!

"Mountain campsite says the women fled into the wilderness after struggling to cope with societal changes in recent years"
I can relate to this.
...found with Jara’s favorite, blessed rosary that she gave the group before they left.
“God was with them,” said Jara
Oh, no I can't. Huh.
I don't have all the details but this sounds like some very stupid campers.
I have done a lot of camping and I would be very cautious about camping "remote" in the Rockies. And no way in hell would I even dream About not taking food.
Sounds like they fucked around with nature and found out.
It also sounds like that boy was a victim of parental stupidity. I pity him.
yeah unless youre prepared to deal with the amount of snow that falls in the rockies and hunt/gather for food during that time its beyond reckless to try camping in those conditions. i knew someone that moved to alaska to do that with a buddy. they were way more prepared than these people and they came back within a year with their tails between their legs from mother nature kicking their ass.
Jara said she tried everything short of kidnapping to keep them from leaving, but nothing worked. Now, Jara wants to warn others about the risks of surviving in the wilderness.
“I do not wish this on anybody at all,” Jara said. “I can’t wait to get to the point where I’m happy and all I can think of is the memories.”
I feel so bad for the stepsister
It says it was updated today, but pretty sure this is old news. My concept of time is iffy though, could be weeks old story updated, could be months old story.
I remember another story a few months ago but thought it was just a mother and son? Maybe that’s why it’s so familiar.
I searched to confirm and it's weird that so many sites posted the story again super recently with what looks like no new info (except maybe the rosary in the son's hand), but this one explicitly says they were found in July. The one you posted I didn't see any date, which was why I was not 100%.
Seems the sister didn't really care to go, but went to try to give them a better chance at surviving.
well they definitely escaped society
We live in a society
Bottom text 😔
I am tempted to do this as I have the training.
I also have type 1, which cuts my chances of doing it significantly.
I can make my own insulin, but that means boiling a lot of pancreas that are not mine. Turning me into a vampire like creature for others pancreatic juices...
Sorry, when you say you can do you mean you have, and used it?
Technically didn't that already make you a vampire... Just one that lives in a society where you pay money to a good of people to find and boil those pancreas for you?
Nah, insulin is produced by bacteria that have been edited to contain the genes to create insulin. No pancreas is harmed to make it.
Someone told them they were too stupid to live, and they said “hold my cheese whiz”
The hiker must have had the surprise of his life. Really sad that the campers didn't have adequate supplies, wouldn't wish that situation on my worst enemy.
