Obviously, they did not know what they were doing and were grossly unprepared for the conditions. Trying to survive in just a tent at high elevation in an area that has brutal Winters...with insufficient food and no means of contacting anybody, nobody being made aware of their whereabouts, etc was a really bad move.
Yeah, but warming........
Isn't that what you're supposed to burn?
This one is pretty much permanent:

They should have binged watched the History Channel’s “Alone” series.
It takes a lot to survive in the wild

Most likely no gun, no tools, and no knowledge on how to build a winter shelter..
Funny, living off the land with canned goods!
You were an Angel that day. God bless you.
How to not do it.
A tent in the Rockies in winter with canned food?
The outcome is hardly surprising.
The picture in the Post shows the step sister and what I assume is her husband, just before the three left on their adventure. It was July. Half the summer was gone and they didn’t even have shelter or the means to make one.
“I thought you said you brought an axe!”
Didn’t somebody, around the middle of January, think: I wonder how Rebecca and them are getting along? No one brought along an emergency phone? From the article I get the impression that even the victims didn’t know exactly where they were going, and I can’t find a mention of where they were from, or how they managed to get there without a car.
Full sail, no compass.
The male and the female were created each with a different job creation, each though, incomplete without the other. Together the male and female as family can do wonders. And it is the family God created as the building block of a good society throughout all creation.
If there is a breakdown in the family, as we are seeing everywhere, then the world is in trouble. And it is!!!
It always touches me that they kept relatively so many of their kids alive, even if they themselves perished. Poor souls.
No argument from me. Yin and Yang.

I’ve done lots of winter camping, in tents. It takes a lot of experience. Forgot to put my boots in the bottom of my sleeping bag and had to dig through snow to find them, but only once.
It can get tricky, having a heater but not carbon monoxide. Most likely, that was their cause of death. That’s why three dead.
You need a constant inflow of outside air, no matter how cold it is.
yep..not necessary to get crazy far away.
For winter camping, I carry a supply of 20 minute road flares. Best firestarter I have found.
Turn off the main breaker..and sleep in the backyard for a week..or, a month or a half year.
