Lessons learned from the Oregon tragedy

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

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

even a hand held radio.

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