This is sad. This is the first update I've seen since the original story. Prayers for his young family, and prayers for him.

We were really hoping he made it. We never go anywhere unprepared, especially in adverse weather, even just the few miles to the store. Just sad. Wasn't there another young family missing during the same snowstorm, in the same area too?

From this story, I know some will wonder what if they had expanded the search he might have been found. Conditions like those and it's fortunate that he was found at all. Sometimes, they're never found, especially if they lose direction and head into more remote terrain.

I have wondered from the start why the helicopters with heat seeking devices weren't employed from the get go. They don't find people by saying they are available.
