I think some of the problem with the Kims is that you have "city" folks coming to the forest and not having the ability to survive in the rough environment combined with the bad weather.

This is a total misconception that many here have.
I suggest you go to:
http://www.oregon.gov/OOHS/OEM/tech_resp/sar.shtml
Pick the year 2005 and download the pdf.
Then go to the page #51 where the year 2005 is broken down by residence.
You will note that only 10% of known residents were from out of state.
71% were those highly skilled mountain men from OR.
18% residence unknown, so the out of state could be a little higher, but if the ratio of in to out in the unknown is the same as the known, you can see that the overall ratio of out of state would still be very small.
So all of the smug OR residents who feel that SAR is a horrible expense to them, wasted on those dumbass flatlanders , need to rethink.
It is your butt that they will be looking for next.
