the boy asked to play a video game on one rescuer's cell phone, the sheriff said

Unreal.

LOL. . .just what I'd expect from a strong kid. . .now that that crisis is over, let's play.

Good kid.

After downing bottles of water and eating all the granola bars carried by a group of volunteer searchers, the boy asked to play a video game on one rescuer's cell phone, the sheriff said.

Guess that shyness wore off.

He was obviously suffering from the video game DT's to want to play such a primitive game.

I'm a firm believer in walkie talkies when people are in the woods. I bought several units at $10 each. I hope the scouts think of this. I know the terrain effects its' use but we have had darn good luck on our 100 acres of tough woods and its' an EXTRA way of keeping tabs on the grandchildren. We always tests the abilities of the user, too.

It is a blessing that he was found alive. People need to be more aware of how to survive outdoors. I recently purchased a DVD about outdoor survival and it is really great. The guy explains how to stay safe and warm and the best ways to get "unlost" or found. The name of the DVD is Wilderness Bob's Outdoor Survival Guide, you can buy it online at:

My sense is that the boy isn't quite hitting all cylinders. He is still a cub scout at age 11.
