[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not that odd to me that they still had drinking water. If the deaths were heat-related they were probably trying to conserve the water while they were still capable of rational thought (again I think they likely planned a short AM hike and something happened to keep them out there longer than expected - sprained ankle, dog overexerts and collapses, any number of things can happen to even experienced outdoorsmen and women and they didn't want to burn through all the water they packed for a short hike). They didn't realize they were in a survival situation until it was too late - at some point you aren't going to be thinking clearly or rationally about the water.[/quote] Unfortunately, decision-making rapidly deteriorates in conditions like this and even experienced hikers can get themselves into a deadly situation as a result. One of the things experienced hikers do that can actually be worse for their survival is try to self-rescue. [/quote]
