i don't think it's just panic. they were there for a long time. they only had a little bit of food and water with them.
after nine days, it would be smarter to lose hope that someone would come and rescue them than to wait for someone to come rescue them. They were really lucky that the phone company was able to ping the last transmission of the cell phone to get a general idea of where they were.
they ran out of food and things to keep them warm. they weren't going to survive a couple more days, especially his daughters. He had to make the decision to go out and get help before his family froze and/or starved to death. i don't think it was a selfish or a reckless decision to leave his family to go find help. he had a map and some articles of clothing to use as trail markers.
when he went out, there probably was still a lot of snow left from the snowstorm that stranded them in the first place. it was probably very difficult to find his way around and got lost.

"after nine days, it would be smarter to lose hope that someone would come and rescue them than to wait for someone to come rescue them."
obviously, not true though.
those who waited, survived.

I don't know if I figured I was going to die ... I'd probably want to die with my family.
...
Or convince them all to go to sleep ... then just eat them.
The baby would be like veal.
... I said I was going to stay out of this thread, I'm sorry.

I work at CNET, never met James as far as I remember. People here are very sad. We and his family have lost a great person. Rest in peace James.

yes, but I think this applies specifically to this group as he was part of cnet and to certain individuals who are a part of the NT community and knew him.
RIP
