In reply to The NEW Ten Essentials posted by Bill S on March 21, 2008 at 1:09:36 pm EDT

The perspective of the "ten essentials" list was stated in the article: "The purpose of this list has always been to answer two basic questions: First, can you respond positively to an accident or emergency? Second, can you safely spend a night—or more—out?" Although "lots of people" may have died in the wilderness despite having the ten essentials, they probably died from a severe injury, a heart attack, or some other occurrence outside the purview of the ten essentials. It's not likely that someone with adequate shelter or clothing died from exposure or hypothermia; it's not likely that someone with adequate food and water died from thirst or starvation.

Who is the "self-annointed expert" to which you refer?
