He was a little busy forgiving a child rapist praying over one of their dozen victims.
God: seen ✓
I always felt Wilson in the movie "Castaway" was the most realistic portrayal of God for survival situations.
Wilson was real though.

He doesn’t lift a finger when a child is sexually abused by his representatives, he ain’t gonna give a shit here either.
Any god is evil.
Nah, all part of the plan.

I don't think god even exists. At least not the kind these poor creatures dreamed of
Oh certainly not. If he existed as advertised, the whole Vatican would be brimstone and pillars of salt.

Yeah, well fuck them. Except the kid. Fuck them for bringing the kid. You want to escape society, fine. But bring the kid after you've figured out how to survive in the wilderness.
can you even imagine? in these situations the kid would be lucky if it died first. if not, the kid was kept alive by the adults long enough for it to watch the adults die, then the kid had to die alone in the tent while it waited in the cold just for nobody to come and help. poor thing. I'm terrified just writing this out.
People can't survive in the wilderness. At least without a decent size community to support them. There are folks who make it years alone with training and knowledge, but you are always just one mistake or circumstance away from death. Humans are not built to survive alone.
The only way a small number of people survive alone is by having money and a large group of people to buy things from and have those things brought to them by the large group... Oh wait... That's not alone... Right right. My bad.
Strewn across the ground were empty food containers and survival books
Please master the survival books before returning to monke.
Well 'They watched YouTube videos' so really what more could they have done?
Ask chatgpt?
It could have given them useful tips on edible mushrooms.
You're right!

Cool. Cool cool cool. Cooooool...
"Mountain campsite says the women fled into the wilderness after struggling to cope with societal changes in recent years"
I can relate to this.
...found with Jara’s favorite, blessed rosary that she gave the group before they left.
“God was with them,” said Jara
Oh, no I can't. Huh.
Just imagine how bad it would've been if God hadn't been with them! 😯

NARRATOR: "He wasn't."
I don't have all the details but this sounds like some very stupid campers.
I have done a lot of camping and I would be very cautious about camping "remote" in the Rockies. And no way in hell would I even dream About not taking food.
Sounds like they fucked around with nature and found out.
It also sounds like that boy was a victim of parental stupidity. I pity him.
yeah unless youre prepared to deal with the amount of snow that falls in the rockies and hunt/gather for food during that time its beyond reckless to try camping in those conditions. i knew someone that moved to alaska to do that with a buddy. they were way more prepared than these people and they came back within a year with their tails between their legs from mother nature kicking their ass.
The difference between them and your buddy is that your buddy knew when to quit.
well they definitely escaped society
We live in a society
Bottom text 😔
They don't!
sharp as a whip
Oof
I am tempted to do this as I have the training.
I also have type 1, which cuts my chances of doing it significantly.
I can make my own insulin, but that means boiling a lot of pancreas that are not mine. Turning me into a vampire like creature for others pancreatic juices...
Technically didn't that already make you a vampire... Just one that lives in a society where you pay money to a good of people to find and boil those pancreas for you?
Now-a-days it's not made from pancreas, but I'm not confident enough to edit yeast DNA yet.
Nah, insulin is produced by bacteria that have been edited to contain the genes to create insulin. No pancreas is harmed to make it.
Sorry, when you say you can do you mean you have, and used it?
I have a small amateur lab at home, yep.
Its really easy to make once you know how. Though it takes a lot of prep and animal pancreas.
I'd rather use pharma insulin though. I only learned for SHTF reasons.
Someone told them they were too stupid to live, and they said “hold my cheese whiz”
The hiker must have had the surprise of his life. Really sad that the campers didn't have adequate supplies, wouldn't wish that situation on my worst enemy.
I try to have more competent enemies
Task failed successfully.
There are certainly easier and less unpleasant ways to end your life. I always feel bad for the kid in these situations. He didn't choose to have guardians so incompetent at life they couldn't look after him.
