Worth Repeating

The video is a bit long.  The bottom line is that a man wanted to live off the grid, hiked completely unprepared into the middle of nowhere in Alaska, found himself unable to get back to civilization due to the summer thaw, and starved to death.

This reminded me of the people who were killed by wild animals trying to take a photograph or getting out of their vehicles when they really shouldn't have.  Or the guy who tried to befriend bears and the bears ate him.

I am also reminded of the foreign tourist family who drove their rental car out into the American desert, despite warnings from the rental car company not to do something like this and perished after the car became stuck.

Richard Roeper commented on things like this, saying that wild animals need to stay in a controlled environment away from us and that people need to stop being stupid.

People are very fragile.  Many people will meet a bad end one way or another because they don't realize this.
