Mr Kim's death resulting from his decision to attempt to walk out of an
area he was unfamiliar with after becoming stranded, raises some thought
provoking questions for aviators.



One of his problems was thinking he was 'here,' when in fact he was
...there.

Many of his subsequent decisions were based on that first wrong premise.

perhaps something as simple as a hand held GPS could have saved him. Or,
even a hand held radio.

Most pilots carry these items with them as a matter of course.

You're the first person besides myself to mention this. The guy was a tech
geek, with not even a cheap, handheld GPS, let alone one with street maps?
My Lowrance 2000c in driving mode was much more informative than our paper
map during our last vacation.
