Lauren Weinberg, 10 days in her car, stranded in the snow...

Two candy bars, melted snow, NO heavy winter clothing or a blanket...and a lot of luck.

See, this really illustrates something very important about surviving various types of incidents. Her life was really in jeopardy because of the temperatures and she survived it...but imagine how much more of a simple inconvenience this would have been had she had a good survival kit in the trunk of her vehicle.

Read the story...

A lot of people will inevitably look at this and they will say, "Well, that's why I don't need a coat or a blanket or sleeping bag and a bunch of other stuff. She made it on two candy bars and melted snow. That's why I think all this survival stuff is paranoid and stupid."

And I'm sure a lot of people do think that way. I think a lot of them become the "tragic" news stories, too.

More power to her, but it looks like a lot of luck, good health, and youth to me.

Nothing more, nothing less.

It was. Perhaps she will learn from it all and take appropriate steps... 8-)
