    Memo to survivalist nutters:

    While stocking up on guns and ammunition for your favorite SHTF fantasy scenario, don't forget food and firewood.

    Woman freezes to death in remote Montana cabin

    MISSOULA, Mont. - Authorities are investigating the circumstances that led to a woman from Oklahoma freezing to death in a remote cabin in the Garnet Mountains after she and her common-law husband were apparently caught off guard by an early-winter snow storm.

    Mickey Charlene Davis, 67, had probably been dead for about two weeks when authorities reached the cabin between Interstate 90 and Helmville in Western Montana just before midnight on Jan. 13, Powell County Sheriff Scott Howard said.

    The sheriff said he and a deputy found 44-year-old Jack McWhorter of Oklahoma starving and hypothermic, leaning against his wife's body with an array of weapons spread in a half circle in front of him.

    I think that most survival minded (not nutters as you call us) would argree whole heartedly that food before guns is a prudent OPSEC.

    That said, this is a gun forum and therefore the discussions are obviously gun heavy.

    Check out this article for a fresh perspective

      Those people just were not right in the head...from the same article in the OP.."They'd been in there for months, and they just flat ran out of food," he said. "They didn't have good clothing, they didn't have any firewood cut, and no way to even start a fire."

      There has to be more to this story.

        So the message to 'survivalist nutters': When losing your mind, take extra chips.

          One would think so. I wonder if they got caught there by unexpected weather and just could not leave.

            Only a half circle of guns? They need more guns.

              What happened to global warming ??? Looks like this is the
              coldest winter in the US in quite a few years.

                I wonder if they headed north on November 6th?

                Anyway, I'm pretty sure that this may qualify for a Darwin award.

                      They forgot the guns carved out of bologna and cheese.

                          Yes, they were guilty of very poor planning if he was only able to make a half-circle.

                          Full circles are good, ever-expanding spirals even better.

                            They are finally realizing that its been a decade since the hottest year on record...
