"Salant, an art teacher at the Treehouse Nursery in Southeast Portland, wasn't dressed or equipped to spend the night in some of the most rugged terrain in the national forest, a place where the Columbia River Gorge meets the Cascade Mountains' volcanic spine. She was wearing shorts and a tank top and ended up in a steep drainage, about a mile and a half from Bear Lake."
Hmmmm, looks like she would have benefited from following the information in Sourdough Dave's book "Life in the Wild vs. the Alternative". She is lucky to have survived.
What are your thoughts?

One of the things that prompted me to write "Life in the Wild vs, the Alternative" was stepping off the trail for an endurance runner comming up the trail behind me. We were less than a mile from that point on the topo map where the line marks "Wilderness". She was wearing shorts, sports bra, and cross trainers. No hydration pack, no pack of any kind. All it would take is for a loose rock on the trail and she is bear poop. The wilderness is a great place to play, but it has no mercy for the unprepared.
