It requires supreme confidence to attempt this.
100 miles.
50+ft of heavy snow. Constant avalanches. Zero degrees. 100mph winds. No rescue options.

From what I’ve seen, the back-country trails and forests of California are used as hiding places by some very dangerous people.

Have they checked to see if anyone’s chained to a bed in Mexico?

So he went by himself? That’s dumb and he knew better.

Most experienced hikers take a month to hike it in the summer:

I’m pretty sure this guys is the very first to even imagine trying it in the winter.
If he makes it he will be an international legend.

If he’s a Marine, are we certain he just doesn’t WANT to be found? ;)
Prayers up for his safe return.

If a man wants to disappear off the face of the earth, this is the way to do it.

In the middle of winter? You're right, the serial killers and sex offenders probably just get hotel rooms when it gets too cold.

May God send angels to his aid.
I would certainly not attempt this without a group of people with avalanche equipment and sat phones.

There are no animals up there to eat.
Even if he carried only SPAM, he’s running short of calories by now. He’s using AT LEAST 4,000 per day just to survive.

A Delorme would be helpful to stay in touch. But with 226” plus of snow for February at Mammoth... Prayers up for this brave young man.
To: Mariner
If he didn’t take along snowshoes and proper gear in that deep snow, he’s in big trouble. Fifteen days? Not good.

It requires supreme confidence to attempt this.I'm not sure confidence is the right word. Perhaps 'arrogance' or just 'stupidity'.

The Donner party was caught up in a bad Sierra Nevada winter in 1846, and only 48 of 87 survived with many resorting to cannibalism.
