In a case like this he could have taken a tire off the car, or the spare, put some gas on it a started it on fire. Tires are very smokey and would have been seen very quickly.

I'm watching the news conference. They did burn their tires. I guess the searchers were just looking in the wrong place when they were burning them.

Maybe that's why he decided to try and get help? Nobody saw the smoke....

Sounds like they burned the tires at night for heat. Would the searchers see the fire/smoke at night? I wish I could find the area on the map. They said the wife and kids are in great shape. Mr. Kim followed a road for a while then went down into a ravine at some creek near the Bear Camp area? "Wind"-something Creek? Can't remember the name.

They did burn their tires.

At night, for warmth.

Apparently they are able to follow Mr. Kim's tracks, and will have an airborne FLIR looking for him tonight.
