I love survival tales.
Popular Mechanics has an in-depth article on how to increase your chances of coming out on top in the battle of man versus nature. What's more, a printed-out copy could be used to kindle a fire; while, if you had the whole magazine, it could be rolled up and used as a weapon against attacking animals. Also, a magazine store is an excellent place to seek shelter from the elements, so if you have one, use it. Many of those who've perished in the wilds have been found within just a few miles of a Barnes and Noble.
UPDATE:
This article lists all the things the rescuers involved in the Kim family search did wrong. In the PM article you'll be able to spot what the Kims did wrong. There's plenty of blame to go around, but unless a search party is particularly inept, the blame, if there's any to be assigned, is going to have to rest with those who initiated the crisis.
Don't you always take back roads in unfamiliar territory during a snowstorm? I know that I do.
Of course, I ended up in Everett once, when I was headed for Mt. Vernon.
