keeping updated on james kim
the family has setup a website with daily updates on the search for james kim. they just dropped packages of provisions in the area that hot spots were seen night before last with infrared helicopter imaging. last night no hot spots were detected.
they’ve also setup a temporary cell tower in the area. that’s an interesting point these days. if you’re lost in the woods and people are searching for you, best to keep your cell phone with you and turn it on briefly each day. then a temporary cell tower could pick up your signal.
another interesting point, the rangers were suggesting that to survive overnight in that wilderness, besides snow caves it would be easy to dig into any soft spot of earth with fallen branches and soft wood. one could make a cosy nest out of vegetation and use that as insulation. and that area is full of that kind of material, so if James knew that he could survive the nights.
