Survivalist freezes to death in Scotland

[iaaems]

The article seemed fair enough, competently written. I think the whole episode, based on what we have been told, underlines the fact that 'survival' is a way of life and a thought process of long standing, it is not something you can learn from a few courses and expect to be proficient at it straight away. It takes lots of practice on the nursery slopes before you go for the real no holds barred thing.
It is sad that this young person died doing what he wanted to do.
