Tip of the Week..

RULE OF THREE'S

You can Survive..
3 Minutes without air / 3 Minutes with Severe Bleeding
3 hours without shelter (In extreme conditions like a snow storm or intense desert heat)
3 Days without Water
3 Weeks wothout Food

The Kim family had very little food.. But they had air, no injuries, shelter in the car, snow to melt for water.. They could have easily survived another 2 weeks. Fact of the matter is, if he had been even resonably prepared, or had one clue about what he was doing, James Kim would still be alive.

He saw himself as a Hero, going out to bring help, and save the day! Heroics and Bravado like that are what killed him, not the snow.

They had the right idea.. They had road flares, they were burning tires. How tough would it have been to grab some tree limbs, build up the fire, and wait? Melt snow in the Aluminum cans they had, and JUST FREAKIN WAIT!!!
