https://www.outdoorlife.com/survival/elk-hunters-missing-colorado-search/They're dead, aren't they? Talked to some folks from the area, I'm a bit north, they say they have no chance. >San Juan Mtns near Durango
>>2841115I see 2 possibilities.#1)>Bill is fucking Fred's wife so Bill takes Fred "hunting".>Fred gets suspicious. Bill wings Fred and he takes off. Turns into a Most Dangerous Prey scenario. Fred lies in wait and gets the drop on Bill but then bleeds out before he can get back to camp.#2)They come across drug smugglers or a meth lab and get whacked before they know whats happening. Bodies are decomposing in a shallow grave and will be discovered when Fido brings a femur back to some hikers camp.
>>2841115let me guess, """"""""experienced"""""" outdoorsman BUT>couldnt start a fire>couldnt tie knots>couldnt identify edible plants>couldnt build shelter>couldnt make safe to drink waterbecause that's always how it is when you actually look into it
>>2841119I think rock slide is quite likely, there was a storm in the area apparently and they may have tried something risky to cover more ground.
>>2841122They do at least appear to be well equipped and in good physical shape. You can be an internet warrior all you want and make assumptions about their skill but it was probably adequate for everything up to a crazy accident. I would be fucking flabbergasted if strong males with thousands of dollars in gear managed to freeze to death or something overnight. That would be pathetic. A naked elderly person could have a decent chance at this time of the year. >Got lostLiterally HOWColorado has sunny days every day like nigga look up see what direction you're going bruh
>>2841124>You can be an internet warriornot being an internet warrioralmost all missing people cases involving parks and rec says >"X was really experienced at the outdoors" and then you look into it they werejt experienced at allalso didnt some european kid a year ago get caught up in a snowstorm will filming for his youtube channel and freeze to death?The guy brought tons of equipment too and went to a location that was known to become a tundra in the winter.
>>2841124>Literally HOWyeah you can see why im saying >"""""experienced"""""you can deny it all you want but we are absolutely on the same page here even if you dont like it
>>2841125No male above the age of 9 should have to capacity to get lost at all
>>2841126I don't even think you need to have been to the outdoors a single time in your life to possess the brainpower required to traverse land safely Fitness and logical thinking far surpass one's skill level in extreme situations
>>2841128that's very true. take being severely dehyrated and starving into account though. Not saying this to be snide or a faggot.Most people arent conditioned to continue rational thought in these circumstances and will almost always fold. Most have to condition themselves overtime to be able to rationally think in extreme circumstances or in exhaustive conditions. That's one of the points of bootcamp in the military and why they make you walk long ass distances with a shit load of gear. You get conditioned to it so that way when the real deal comes you dont metaphorically shit your pants having to walk a long distance
>>2841132This is an extreme part of USA, for sure it is. It would be so nuts for these people to not be humble about that. I go on rather extreme minimalist adventures within 200 miles of this region and I bring 70+lbs of gear with me and most of it is water. I'm not from here. I didn't have to do research to fucking understand I needed to do this in this area.
One of my favorite bicycle routes You have to bring a lot of tubes and water for this, thorns/goatheads are literally infinite and there are no services for a very serious distance

>>2841143>Camping gear and backpacks were located in the vehicle>recovered two miles from the Rio De Los Pinos Trail HeadDrowned on a quick dayhike, idk
>>2841115Its only been five days. Depends on how lost they are and how experienced they are. But if they were experienced they wouldnt be lost.
>>2841122>couldnt identify edible plantsYou can't go five days without eating?
>>2841115they are clearly fags so i bet they went and did a romeo and juliet type of anal sex suicide pact
>>2841143I know its early.on in the investigation and all but its still surprising that no details were released other than the approximate location of where the bodies were discovered.
>>2841143How the fuck did they only make it 2 miles in when they died? They had no gear on them so they walked for what, half an hour? An hour max? They didn't even start the trip>>2841233I don't think it's that surprising, the article says they haven't confirmed the bodies' identity yet so we'll know more after a poor family member is forced to look upon the remains. I'm 27 now, it's sad to see I'm at the party of my life where people my age and younger are dieing all around me, mostly from mistakes or hubris. Let this be a PSA to anyone going /out/: you can fuck it up, so be prepared.
>>2841115They're Sasquatch's now.
>>2841238i bet they died of fent. they probably thought they were doing coke but it was laced with fent. that or another trantifa suicide cult
When I hunted here in Louisiana (and a few times in Mississippi), we always told people exactly where we would be: parking here, won’t go north past that stream, won’t go south beyond this road, etc. The deer and hogs here are plentiful so we didn’t have to travel far. Is it different in Colorado? If so, are all hunters fit enough to carry a deer several miles back to their vehicle?This is the most common unifying fact in these wilderness missing persons cases. They can’t be found because they didn’t tell anyone where they would be. It’s even more true now with dedicated GPS and smartphones. >>2841122>couldn’t tie knots>couldn’t built shelterThe first implies that they brought supplies with them, specifically rope. Why wouldn’t that include a shelter, negating the need to build one?
They dead:https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/exploration-survival/bodies-of-two-experienced-elk-hunters-reportedly-found-in-colorado/
>>2841247>The first implies that they brought supplies with them, specifically rope. Why wouldn’t that include a shelter, negating the need to build onefaggot, if you get lost and lose your gear ine of the first things you're ginna need to do is build a shelter
>>2841175no, i cant picrel is me>>2841259even knowing how to build one withoht rope is a good ideagotta be prepared
>>2841247>They can’t be found because they didn’t tell anyone where they would be.another thing to consider is that they could have told someone and then ended up going somewhere elsewe did that all the time at my old hunting ranch
Domed by hail?
>>2841259>get lost AND lose your gearLARP fag
>>2841311>i cant do anything without my thousands of dollara worth of gearfuck off faggot
>>2841312Stop shitting up the board with this retarded “survival” scenarios. It’s fucking cringe.
>>2841136Or you go tubeless, Jesus.
>>2841233Not that weird. Local news channels aren't exactly gonzo journalists. They're gonna fill in the names and the places in as much detail as is easy to find then move on to the other 10 pieces they have to write. They're not gonna go triangulate the gulch or ridge where searchers found em.
Major win for the local Elk.
