one thing i just remembered from yesterday and i had the same experience is that after spending 3-4 days in cave 1 kelly may have come out to make himself visible when he heard choppas.i speculate on this only to highlight another danger. i did that once and they did not see me, and i took risks because i wanted out!i spent a 5th nite foodless on snow.risks are everywhere , you have to see them.
