Tell me how people can be this stupid... Stolpas, Kims, and now these two rocket scientists.

Drive up into the Sierras with local wx forecasts nothing but "The storm of the century" on every TV and radio station for hundreds of miles in every direction. In your "new to you" 1989 Jeep Cherokee with no food, clothing, boots, nothing. Come over Carson Pass as the storm starts building, then "drive around a locked gate and go six miles up a closed summer road and get stuck in the mud." Then not be able to walk out the same road, six miles, to the major highway and several resorts. Or, just wait in the Jeep for a few days. Nope, let's just walk a mile and die.

This is proving my theory of human de-evolution.

Way to give Darwin a mulligan.

Gump,
Your Avatar is telling you something!

What avatar? That's a live webcam at my bar!

I didn't know there were any 1989 Jeep Cherokee's that still run??

The "Gene Pool" is more like a wading pool, not real deep.....
California, convincing kids they're "Special" from day one
Can you imagine being out there and not being able to update your FaceBook page.... OMG!..... Tragic

you cant fix stupid. With the PLB's we have available to us now, it is just stupid to go remote without some form of emergency comunication. As you stated, the trip should have never happened, or they should atleast should have been geared up to survive a stay in the wilderness. The report says they had camped in the area before, so they obviously had some gear they could have taken with them..

I have 10 bucks on the bet the surviving twit will sue California for not putting up a better gate that would have prevented them from being that STUPID.... Odds are Calif will pay the bitch 10 million dollars to 'ease ' her pain.

They're not pilots. It's likely they're actually stupid.

No Country for Old Men. Something like; "You can laugh. I laugh sometimes myself" I saw the article when it appeared in the local press. I didn't give it too much thought at the time but I remember wondering what in tarnation they were doing out there then. It takes all kinds. A definite Darwin award winner.

My work involves a lot of remote travel, and the 50 pound cold-weather bag never leaves the truck all year long, along with tire chains, tow rope, etc. I also carry a bacpack with the "72 hour O-shit supplies" when I snowmobile, even on rides of less than a mile in good weather. I also carry a PLB, GPS, BAG, cell phone, Portable radio on the state cops channel, etc. Darwin cantidates like this just convince me that some level of paranoia is necessary to stay alive.

Interesting article. The best part for me were the related links at the end. Both about B.O.
Way to prove a point.

You'd need a food taster if you suggested that in my neck of the weeds.

That means higher education has become the downfall of smart people as they lose their ability to reproduce competetively. Darwin could not have seen that coming.
