Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sheriff says family on California hike died of extreme heat.

LOL !

or hiding !

Damn good movie there.

They all died of Covid 19 of course. They were not vaccinated.

Nope, they all died of the “Delta Variant”, and they had all volunteered for both jabs; plus they willingly accepted the “booster” jab! Hell, who knows, they might have also volunteered for the “flu” jab (aka the Covid poison)! No doubt, all the stupid sheeple will offer themselves willingly for whatever future gene experiments may come…

Where was Alec Baldwin at that time?

“Make me a sergeant and charge the booze!”

One hour without water in those temperatures and it's usually all over. People die in Australia every year in similar circumstances - nothing unsual about that.

Really...when was the last time you heard of someone in Australia dying from dehydration after an hour without water at 43 degrees Celsius?


I am fifty-seven and I sure as heck don't remember any.


added, and don't run with that "but in Queensland..." shit, as I come from Longreach.

Besides the overabundance of Wilhelm screams, this is my favorite line from the movie!!!

I think that heat stroke is entirely plausible. Nothing says they all died at the same moment or in just an hour. It is entirely possible that the child became disabled first, then the adults (further burdened by carrying the child.) Now mentally and physically diminished, they collapsed together and all three eventually succumbed. The dog stayed loyally by their side until it also died.

Some of you seemingly have to make everything a complicated conspiracy when the simple answer to things stares you in the face.

So Rocky, your saying giant ant mutations are out?

Wrong answer, y’all are grossly underestimating the human will to survive.

107f? That's pretty darn hot.

I can see it.

Pretty cool huh

I can buy the heat related theory. Heat or cold can sneak up on you. They should have had more water. When I was young, I was often less than well prepared, figuring I could get out of any difficulty just by trying harder. I had some close calls. Now, at 72, I am always a little better prepared because I am aware I don't have the reserves I had fifty years ago (or even twenty years ago). I think the right move would have been for the father to make sure the rest were as comfortable and protected as they could be, then hurry to the car for more water or to get help. I say "the father" because that's his job. If he was less capable though, his wife might have been able to do it. All of this is easy to say from the comfort of my living room. Under pressure, I might make the wrong call as well.
I wonder if they had cell service? I suspect cell phones are counted on as a life line; much more than they should be. My uncle (the same age as I), an avid rock hound, had to call for help last summer when, on a desert excursion, he realized he wasn't going to be able to make it back to his Jeep. If he had not been able to call, he may have been screwed. GD

It doesn’t matter to me, all I said in the beginning was they wouldn’t find the cause and they hope the story goes away. This has been the standard position for well over a hundred years in many of the cases. For the other hundreds of years concerning native peoples, they just made legends from a few.

It is good that some of the mysterious incidents stay in the headlines while the rest are forgotten, like they are now.

Johnny, I think you might be grossly underestimating the debilitating effect of exertion at 109F and neither shade nor water.

It took 12 hours of work for me to get lightheaded in 107 temps years ago. I sat down and was fine in less than 5 minutes.

YMMV.
