In fact, only one lone mother, Kati Kim, showed up for the Bear Camp Road feed-in:
They ran the heater in their station wagon until the car was out of gas, then burned all the tires in a desperate attempt to keep warm. When the food ran out, Kati Kim breastfed her two young daughters to keep them alive.Hope was running low for the Kim family nine days after they became stranded in the snowy mountains of southwestern Oregon while making their way toward home in San Francisco. Then, at 1:45 p.m. Monday, Kim spotted a helicopter her family had hired to help in the search. She waved an umbrella on which she had taped reflective striping, and soon she and the girls were saved.
Good for her for keeping up production seven months after the birth of her youngest. I bet she never thought it would become a matter of life or death.
Things don't look good for the husband who went to look for help, but hopefully he found a place to hole-up and will be found alive.

Izzit just me or does anyone else see this as a bad thing?
Isn't it cold there this time of year? Snow, ice and subfreezing temperatures at night?
I think it's a very bad thing. Hypothermia or wet pants from falling in a stream. Nothing good.

There was food all around him.
