I think I've made my point that he drove himself into the predicament. Once there they did not have minimal provisions to carry on. They were able to light fires but for some reason did not keep a large hot fire going utilizing available wood.

Secondly, they didn't setup camp once it was realized that they were going no where fast. Utilize the car and anything else they could get their hands on to set up a camp where they could build a large fire that would radiate the heat and keep the car warm.

Lastly, the only times he should leave the car is to forage for food and try to trap/kill small animals to eat and still continuing to build a stockpile of wood to keep a large fire going.

It just was a useless choice for him to venture out on his own unless he had some working knowledge of where he was going.... and it's obvious he did not.

Too bad for him he was a computer guru and not an outdoor survivalist. If everyone had everyone elses knowledge in bad situations, they'd make it out alive. I bet you wouldn't make it if you had to rebuild a computer server to save your life.
