Posted on December 13th, 2013 by Erik Kulick

A family in Nevada, who had gotten themselves stranded in a remote area after an afternoon of sledding, were rescued after spending two days in sub-zero temperatures.  While each member of the family needed to be treated in the hospital for dehydration and mild hypothermia, they were in otherwise great condition.

Details have emerged since their rescue of how much their father did to improvise and adapt to their situation to keep everyone safe.
