FYI, GADZOOKS: I do not own an easy chair, nor do I drink...I HAVE spent many hours on the trapline in subzero temperatures. LOL, this whole thing is so stupid. The guy made BAD choices...and because he did, the State paid for his rescue: fine, but he ought to feel a twinge of responsability to pay for AT LEAST his hotel bill. I I ever go to Australia and take a hike in the sweltering sun w/o water, and I need to be rescued, I deserve to be called stupid and irresponsible....but I'll pay for my hotel, at least.

JAO-He intends to do it again!! Not a grave mistake if one intends to do it again.
BIG KUDOS to the writer of this letter for refusing to take him out...that is responsible!

GADZOOKS: On the contrary, it seems to ME that most of us commenting ARE from Alaska. That is precisely why the irresponsability that occured here bothers us so much. The majority of us probably have been on a trapline for x number of days, a float trip gone wrong, eaten our share of berries and fish to survive, etc.. In fact, the most stressful times for most of us is probably when we visit the "heated grocery store."
It doesn't matter where this guy is from, if he was from Anchorage, Barrow, North Pole, the Moon, his stupidity caused the NATIONAL GAURD to deploy, risk their lives to search and "rescue" him, then pay for his hotel bill. No one here honestly thinks the guy should have been left for the bears, but the point is, BE PREPARED or don't go. And as Alaskans who might need a genuine rescue someday, we have the right to gripe about someone from WHEREVER who couldn't live without internet.
GLOW: somedays I would gladly leave these monsters behind...Prime Rib and Chena Hotsprings sounds great!

I don't think he should pay for the rescue: He was ill-prepared and stupid, but that doesn't mean he should just die out there...and I think AUTUMNIMPROV is right, guides and pilots have the responsability to see that the people they are dropping off are equipped for their trip. When I teach a ski lesson, I make sure the student has gloves, hat, etc. or we cancel.
I think he should have to pay for the hotel and other accomodations though....
...and who's trying to be funny? I'm going insane in my own house, and I am just waiting for that helicopter to rescue me.

ENOUGH, ENOUGH, I used to really like her, and in some ways I still do...but WHY ISN'T SHE HOME WORKING, she's always running around "helping" other States and people now. And tomorrow, the News Miner will report on what color underwear she is wearing!!

Peccavi~We CANNOT keep felons from getting guns...that's the point: even if we outlaw guns for everyone, the felons will still get them. That's why every educated adult ought to carry their own protection.

And we don't know the motive? If they knew each other?
