There were three of them. You’d think at least one would’ve chimed in with an “I’m so hungry, let’s go back to civilization for a day for a hot meal.” Instead of “hey, it’s so cold, let’s make a fire in this enclosed tent that should actually be some form of small cabin with a chimney.” I hate to say it, but they all deserved it in this case. And yes, even the teenager, because at 14 I could spot a moronic idea like this from miles away.

They might have been trapped by the snow and having been already somewhat weakened from malnourishment.
