Should have brought warm clothing.
Should have brought a survival kit.
Should have stayed on the main road.
Once they go stuck, they should have remained with the vehicle and created a smokey fire. Spare tires create a lot of smoke.
...and shouldn't have bought a Jeep

My plan is to start a large smokey *forest* fire. They only turn out so many searchers for one dumbass lost person, but they mobilize half the county for a forest fire.
Just last week Les “Survivorman” had this same thing. ‘cept he was in Norway, way down a road no one usually went on in winter.
Trying to hike out is rarely a good idea.
I was watching a survival program on Discovery Channel and that’s the first thing they recommended if one were stuck in a remote area with no way out. Other suggestions were to cut up the seat cushions and strap them to your feet for snow shoes.
