Survivalist no, idiot yes!
Thank you Mother Nature you did us a favor.
I heard from fox news he was found face down in some water wearing jeans and a t-shirt with weapons nearby, in his attempt to evade capture traveling in chest deep snow.
It's hard to survive when you have no actual survival gear, but if he just would have had a really stupid overly large knife he would have made it out alive.
