[@Sara-xk1ns]

Man, this is just worst case scenario after worst case scenario. My heart feels for them for sure. I can’t even imagine having to drive the rv home after going thru such a traumatic experience, that’s going to be tough for her. I was a manager at an rv park for a few years and one weekend we had an elderly man pass away in his rv. He was on vacation with his wife and an rv group. He passed in his sleep next to his wife. She woke up and found him. Their friends comforted her for hours but as it was a Sunday they all had to get on the road and return home as well bc it was just a weekend trip. I also had my sons birthday party that afternoon at the park bc we lived on the property. But I refused to set up while she was there. Since he was deceased he wasn’t taken out in an ambulance, the poor woman had to wait hours for the coroner to come. She also didn’t know how to drive the rv. Luckily her kids lived within driving distance and drove to pick her up so she wasn’t stranded, but she asked me if I could park her rv in our storage facility until she could make alternate plans. I gave her the rest of the summer storage for free and told her no rush. My heart broke for her. She kept saying “he was going to teach me on the ride home. He wanted me to learn to drive it. It’s like he knew he was leaving me.”

Why was the walker 'backward' against the fender of the car? Was it because its owner was hanging out, leaning on the hood? Or was it placed there incorrectly before the shot?

[@jum5238]

Some good lessons there. Went through something like this myself, got stuck, almost bitten by a couple of snakes, nearly ran out of water. Phone was crippled, in an iron-rich canyon, and could only make 911 calls out, not get calls in. Was able to eventually get a call through, and baked in the hot sun for hours before rescuers came. Glad I didn't die. Lesson 1, don't go out alone. Lesson 2, tell people where you're going.

[@murphsmodels8853]

Also If you're driving an RV and gonna buy a road atlas, buy a Motor Carriers road atlas. They color code roads based on whether an 18-wheeler can use them. I'd also buy a dedicated GPS device made specifically for truckers. You can program the exact size of your vehicle into them, and they won't take you down roads it wont fit thru.

I live in Oregon and we have “seasonal” roads. Roads you can’t go down basically after the first snowfall. GPS doesn’t say that they are seasonal.

The father that walked off to find help, he became hypothermic and started taking his clothes off in the snow and died. Snowmobiles found the mother and the little kids in the car a day or so later. They had tried to burn a car tire so the black smoke would attract attention and it didn’t work

Yeah I own a GPS tracker made by invoxia. It uses cellular and GPS... Its on my Suzuki DR400 dirt bike and is about the size of a pack of gum, battery will last 3 months with a ping rate of every10 min while riding an hour a day, or 6 months if you have it only ping once per 24 hours. If I were to get in trouble. There is a button on it you can press to send sos pings with my location to anyone you want. You need to set it up before you get lost though. There is no way to do that once you are out of cell service and only have GPS signal. The thing is $120 with 2 years of cell/gps service. Garmin sells two way text GPS units that are cool but expensive.

I felt so bad when I saw their story a couple months ago. Such a tragic incident. I was thankful they were together when Ron passed away. God Bless Beverly, her family and all those that helped recover the vehicles

[@gub0ne182]

This recovery was very emotional to watch. My parents are in their late 60's early 70's now and starting to travel more in a setup almost exactly the same. I am going to make sure they understand their GPS unit and ensure it is not configured to take them on roads like this if possible.

[@bmxmaster600015]

they were using maps, not a gps if they were using a gps it would not have taken this route..

[@ohanaross-roberts97]

I know this is rude, but as long as they are not idiots you don’t have to worry. If the road ahead of you gets really bad and your in some shitty car don’t keep going smh.

[@Spec_D]

Make sure they take water with them everywhere

[@JoltingS14]

Get them an EPIRB. They can just keep it around in case they get into trouble. No subscription services or anything. Fantastic for hiking, or just being in remote areas.

@@JoltingS14 that's the answer right there.

I'm a 42 yr old Army vet who's seen and been through more than most could ever possibly comprehend both in the military and moreover personal life experiences and this brought tears to my eyes. I'm not someone who normally show's emotions or even cries, but if a story like this doesn't have the same affect on yourselves then you must not be human.

[@meiser5198]

Damn guess I’m an alien now

[@rockreader4298]

My heart and tears agree with your words, Diesel. GPS's misleading and disorienting people that are using and relying on them, is not a new thing. I do feel the company manufacturing and setting up the mapping programs will not make any changes unless there is a legal precedence set by prosecuting and holding them accountable for such a case as this, therefore hopefully avoiding any potential loss of life, due to faults in this product going forward. More human brains and less robotic technology should be involved in the manufacturing and mapping programs used in a GPS. Period.

These are my new favorite videos to binge on. Hits close to home. I went on a search and rescue to find my brother and his friend. They were snowmobiling in the Little belt mountains near Showdown ski area. That is the most snow I have ever ridden in. -40F and 30 ft of snow. We could not go anywhere on the sleds of that era. The Air Force found the fire they had started by infra red. They survived 3 days and nights inside the fire pit. Only frostbite and broken egos thank god! Thank God for you guys.

Man, that story is sad as hell. I think about all those times my grandparents would take their van up in to the mountains 30+ years ago before GPS and Grandfather would just pick a random trail to drive down looking for a good fishing spot, it's kind of a miracle they never got stuck and stranded like this. You sir, are a wonderful human being for doing things such as this.

My partner and I worry about my mother-in-law and her driving all over. So he got AirTags for us all. He tracks me, our youngest daughter (oldest is married) and his Mum and I track him. Even if there is an issue and the location/ping is delayed, you at least have an idea of where they are/where. My MIL, and the rest of us, have it on our keys, cos it’s my partner and MIL’s car keys (so they need them) and our daughters front door key. It’s given my partner and I huge peace of mind with his Mum xxx
