on a trek through the wilderness wilderness trek known a

00:15

star one which of the following statements indicates how this

00:27

in truth is a mosque fell squarely on a little

00:29

fire to public figures shivering transport from new pull them

00:33

together and okay so what went wrong Well advice is

00:38

nice but only if we pay attention to it Right

00:41

Too bad This guy didn't listen We're looking for a

00:43

bit of cause and effect here And this man certainly

00:45

has a conflict with nature and maybe even a few

00:47

conflicts But what caused the man to become locked in

00:51

this life and death battle with cold Not listening If

00:55

this man had traveled with a partner like the old

00:57

timer on sulphur creek Told him tio there have been

01:01

01:04

01:06

01:09

He thought in the moment of control despair that ensued

01:13

after fifty below a man should travel with a partner

01:19

of All right Well loser bowl here Uh let's think

01:21

about it uh well freezing and shivering in the extreme

01:24

cold yes is certainly a conflict with nature but it

01:26

doesn't explain how the conflict came to be It's not

01:29

the origination had to remove his mittens that handle the

01:31

matches but the fact doesn't get us closer to the

01:33

answer so get rid of a nd there The fact

01:36

that that green moss is too wet to burn is

01:38

another pitfall for the man but it doesn't help us

01:40

determine why he's battling with nature in the first place

01:43

So the answer is d he did not listen to

01:45

the old timer on sulphur creek that's it well here's 00:01:49.527 --> [endTime] toe warmer climes there pal
