That sucks but thats why you never go wheeling alone....

 

[wayoflife]

Tragic and a totally unnecessary loss of life. Never a good idea to wheel in the snow alone and especially without letting anyone know where you were going. Very sad.

i was nervous enough when our group of 10 JK's went wheeling in the snow. I cant imagine even thinking about wheeling like this alone

 

[BlackDiamondBound]

not to mention the road they were on was closed for the season.

Sad story indeed. But was anyone else wondering why she had a bunch of tomatoes? WTF?

 

[JKAnimal]

That is sad :yup: at least she had sense to take the tomatoes and the blanket with her! It's unfortunate about here boyfriend!

 

[OverlanderJK]

In the story,they were coming from their parents home and returning home.Just maybe they got the tomatoes from their garden???What ever the case,she lived through it.I suppose for a guy,it should have a bunch of beer instead.Just my thought

 

[OverlanderJK]

Yeah said she got tomatoes from a relatives house. I would have died since I hate tomatoes. (Not to make a joke out of the situation but yeah lol)

I commute about 70 miles to work, in the winter time up here in Michigan things can get interesting to say the least. Being the well prepared Marine Veteran I am, I stock my vehicle with blankets, tents, shovels, first aid kits, and even a few days worth of food during the winter. When I know there is a bad storm approaching I drive the jeep rather than the commuter car and make sure to never go below half a tank of gas should I run off into a ditch and have to leave the car running all night to stay warm.

But yes this is a sad story, worse in the fact that it was totally avoidable.

Very sad, living where cell phones don't work outside town I bought a spot device. Use's satellite to send an SOS to search and rescue, or messages to selected people, everyone should have one.

I've been wheeling plenty alone. If I waited around to Only go with others about 80 percent of my off road experience would not exist. I'll admit there is risk involved but there are ways to minimize it. I feel that you're missing out if you never venture out alone..

This article is a very sad event. I'm sorry for those involved..

Really a tragic ordeal..... It's a shame.
