OK, kiddies, let’s review the mistakes in this story.

(1) Improper preparation. 7Ps. Even if you’re just going for a walk, where is your 72 hour kit on your hip.

(2) No “flight plan”. Leave your plan, route, eta / etr, what ever with a “giant canary” who will “signal” your situation.

(3) No communication. Where was the radios, cell phones, FRS, cb, etc. etc.

(4) Route march from the vehicle without a proper plan.

Did I miss anything?
