“Both deaths appear to be due to exposure, attributed to weather conditions and lack of preparedness.”

That’s what they want you to think.

On the upside, just before they froze to death they discovered D. B. Cooper’s lost treasure.

I used to live in Washington State and I know that area from hunting.
It’s about 100 miles inland from the Pacific on the Olympic peninsulat, and that areas best description is North Americas Rainforest. West of Wilard is THICK forest. Dense heavy vegetation, you can lose your bearings easily if you don’t stay focused. You don’t have a horizon, you don’t have the sky. What roads may be in there are mostly abandoned logging trails that haven’t seen mainetnece in 40-50+ years. You wonder if you’re still on the trail.

Those boys eneded up not even knowing how turned around and lost they really were. RIP.

(Never saw Sasquach, even brough him some jerky.)

Over three days, more than 60 volunteer search and rescue personnel, including canine, drone, and ground teams, were mobilized. The United States Coast Guard from Astoria, Oregon, provided air support using F.L.I.R. technology.

Despite deploying all of those resources, they didn't find Sasquatch either.

Funny that a camera helped find them, but no camera ever picks up a decent image of such a mythological creature (which also manages to bury its scat and burn or bury its own dead so that no traces are ever found.)

[TalBlack]

How stupid they must have felt as the end closed in. Amazing the trouble booze can lead you to. RIP

The odds of being killed by a Sqautch are low, but never zero.

They must have violated Rule #1 for hunting Bigfoot...

I wondered where Skamania County is. In case you are wondering, too...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I've hiked county and state parks in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years. Even in that heavily populated area, you are in wilderness with a few minutes' drive.

Just six months ago...

Missing hiker found alive after spending 10 days in Santa Cruz Mountains
By Lauren Martinez, KGO TV
June 21, 2024

A missing Santa Cruz County hiker is back home after spending more than a week in the mountains, and the heartfelt reunion was all captured in photos.

Lukas McClish, 34, said he spent 10 days in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

On Tuesday, June 11, McClish headed out for a three-hour hike from his hometown of Boulder Creek. He said he got lost and didn't recognize certain landmarks wiped out by fires.

When he didn't show up for Father's Day dinner, he was declared missing on Sunday, June 16. Four days later, McClish was rescued.

My wife bought me a Garmin Inreach Mini last year for Christmas and I take it on all my hikes now. You don't even need dedicated Garmin devices these days -- just get a satellite-capable iPhone. I can check in with family and, if things get real bad, press "SOS" for Search and Rescue. These guys were absolute idiots for not having such gear with them.

Should be noted that rescuers also didn’t find Sasquatch.

[AndyJackson]

lack of preparedness

No kidding. I bet they didn't even do an internet search for precautions to take in a sasquatch encounter. Of course the "are you insane?" response may not have been seen to be helpful however well intentioned it was.

[logi_cal869]

Tragic.

Darwin wins again.

[faucetman]

Let me guess... They were killed by a Sasquatch. /s
