Family died in Rockies after trying to live ‘off the grid,’ official says
Two sisters and a teenage son moved to a Colorado campsite last July, living off canned food. They had wanted to take a break from a world that distressed them, a local coroner said.
You're viewing a single thread.
First rule of the Rocky's, don't camp / hike outside in the winter, you will not survive.
Even with a well-stocked cabin, the cold alone will sap your energy and kill you slowly.
Trying to survive it in a tent isn't mere ignorance, it's outright stupidity.
I just feel bad for the kid. Mom wanted to get off the grid but Colorado has a history of killing those who try it without a lot of money and infrastructure to support it. Go off the grid in like South Carolina, not Colorado.
Lol this is ridiculous. I’ve been hiking in the Rockies plenty of times during the winter, as long as you take the proper precautions you will be fine.
ya right lool
i live in the mountains of CO. i sometimes wish the cold killed more consistently. we'd be a little less crowded
That's... a concerning viewpoint. You doing ok there buddy?
That's rather silly, as long as people can hear you shouting it's almost always going to be safe no matter what you do.
