[quote=Anonymous]The people I know that do hard core hiking get a sat phone for hikes when they will be out of range. It seems like this family didn’t even have emergency flares. Maybe they had something like the emergency whistle or beam but if there no one around those won’t really help you. There are big signs posted around the Grand Canyon warning people that the hike back up will take twice as long as the hike down, so if you want a three hour hike, turn around after one hour. Many people do not account for that. It sounds like this hike was similar in that the hard part was all at the end. If anyone has ever been a boy or Girl Scout, they spend a lot of time teaching kids about appropriate gear and preparedness for outdoor activities. It’s really important to think this stuff through. We live such coddled lives that we forget how deadly nature is. And it’s getting deadlier every year. [/quote]
