So utterly, terribly, gut-wrenchingly sad. On many levels.

I don’t like that he keeps mentioning "poisonous" snakes, rather than VENOMOUS snakes. Coming from a biologist, scientist, naturalist, whatever. I'd expect better accuracy.

On why they couldn't track or contact the son via Facebook: "[Facebook] is just full of a bunch of people who don't do anything, and then brag about it when they do."

I can feel the dad's despair; worsened because I already know what happens.

Boiling swampwater and treating it for dysentery is absolutely not my idea of fun but the kid does it day after day like it's nothing.

Serious overachiever but also incredibly fortunate to be able to do all these things. Wonder how difficult a mining engineering degree is...
