It seems like it was more important to continue filming then to help dig the guy out. Granted, he did appear to be OK, but an extra pair of hands would not have hurt.
Could’ve been worse.
I think he is a single guy and at the time of the avalanche, unemployed.
If he had gotten pregnant during around then, the timing could not have been worse.
He simply could not afford to feed and take care of another person and had no support system.
So, everything worked out for the best...
The avalanche took his hair right off.... : )
