    If you ever end up stuck in the snow like these guys you can very easily find some gravel and throw it under the tires it’ll give it something to grab onto. If you can’t find gravel take the car mats out and lay them beneath each tire. Also, even if you don’t have the proper tools to put the chains back on they can be used under the tires for traction.

      Thing about babies that are less than a year old, from what I've seen in documentaries, is that it's believed they can survive on stored nutrients and such. Kinda like how in Mexico's 80s earthquake, a hospital collapsed and some newborn babies were able to survive days in the rubble without food.

    There was actually a full length movie about this couple, how the father walked some 40 miles in the snow to get help, leaving the wife and baby behind. Luckily, they all survived. The doctors at the hospital where they recovered said that the baby survived because its tiny body went into survival mode and brought its metabolism down to the lowest possible, conserving all the baby fat...the infant actually lost no weight, but of course the mom and dad lost plenty. Isn't mother nature amazing, and sometimes terrifying, so RESPECT her!

      The fact he was still breastfeeding ment food isn't the babys main food source. Trouble comes when the mother isn't getting the food and water she needs to produce the milk for the baby.
      They set out not thinking they would end up driving off the highways and into snow covered wilderness. They planned for food for a matter of hours, not to be stranded for days.
      They were foolish to even think they should attempt going out on such a drive in blizzards with a baby. I wouldnt leave my home in the first place in such conditions, but thats me.

Like knowing conduction and convection,Eating snow will lower your core. You will die from hypothermia before dehydration. Ice coffins etc. The best thing is to just stay put if you are not certain.. It's almost impossible to be spotted from air. The car holds tools to start fires signal etc.

    Its important to remember that simply melting snow in your mouth is not anywhere close to meeting the hydration threshold needed to stay alive, it's sort of a zero net gain thing. The energy needed to melt the snow with body heat expends more moisture than it gains. Include a stainless steel water bottle in your trouble kit in your car and a heat source like a propane or butane stove and a couple canisters of fuel plus a way to make a fire. Also, travelling with an infant, requires an elevated level of caution.

      Why call it heartbreaking?? They suffered, overcame, survived, and they're all doing well now (in spite of losing their toes). Most of us are pretty spoiled in Western society, when you have a near-death experience, or several, you learn to appreciate life and not assume it's going to be easy all the time. I don't blame you for not wanting to experience it with your son, but it didn't break their hearts, they are strong people and they love each other. I'm pretty sure they learned some valuable lessons from it... that's for sure!!! Don't be sad, they're OK!!
      😉 PS. Remember, Life never guaranteed everything would be easy all the time, and how you respond to adversity says a lot about you. You can give up, or you can do what you have to do to survive and recover from things, as they have. ❤

      These disaster stories often start with one very bad decision.
      With a wife and child, the number one priority is to protect them.
      Other obligations do not matter when you've got such bad weather...
      And the pride of people, and the arrogance, to just blunder forward, baby with them, instead of just staying in a motel and waiting.
      They knew nothing about the area.
      "THERE WASN'T MUCH TRAFFIC" INDEED!
      They didn't bother to tell anyone where they were, they didn't ask at a gas station about conditions ahead.
      This happens when a man has to "be a man" and rely on only himself.
      People have what I call "nature deficit disorder", where they're so out of touch with how reality can be, because they lack any experience, and they don't even know how badly ignorant they are.

      Both parent said don't come as the storm is coming and these are country roads. That not a wrong decision. It's wasent their choice.That playing hard head to your host house your staying at. And they know the country roads there, and guess what they were right the road was impassible shut down.
      The least mr hard head could do is call them and say your were right, we be heading back home and call later. But no they decide to go all back roads. Even after not telling anybody. This is a 4 day trip. And no food. That why they took the chain off to go faster. I bet they slid off the road and didn't include that. They disobey order from both parents and even when back road. Of course you going to get stuck. That why you listen to folks who know there roads.

      Never drive in secluded, empty road. Always think that your car will break and when that happens, you know you can look for people for help. Also another survival tip: never ever go out without a cellphone.
