Those who follow my posts know that this all conforms to the Giant Sloth. Better no other reasonable alternative exists for these cases as is often the case for losses in the wild. We often forget that a mere misstep in the wilderness can produce a world of hurt easily leading to much worse and a failed recovery.. After all simply stepping up on a fallen log places you in position to tumble and break your neck. Even the best trained lose discipline at times which is why a partner is necessary even if we did not have this threat.
