      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.

      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.

      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.
