The stepsister of a Colorado woman who was found dead along with her sister and teenage son at a remote Rocky Mountain campsite says the women fled into the wilderness after struggling to cope with societal changes in recent years, but they were unequipped to survive off the grid.
Exposed to several feet of snow, chills below zero and with no food found at their camp, Christine Vance, Rebecca Vance and Rebecca’s son likely died of malnutrition and hypothermia, according to the autopsies released this week. Authorities haven’t released the boy’s name.
Those reports contained another chilling detail that brought stepsister Trevala Jara to tears: The 14-year-old boy’s body was found with Jara’s favorite, blessed rosary that she gave the group before they left.
I am tempted to do this as I have the training.
I also have type 1, which cuts my chances of doing it significantly.
I can make my own insulin, but that means boiling a lot of pancreas that are not mine. Turning me into a vampire like creature for others pancreatic juices…
Technically didn’t that already make you a vampire… Just one that lives in a society where you pay money to a good of people to find and boil those pancreas for you?
Nah, insulin is produced by bacteria that have been edited to contain the genes to create insulin. No pancreas is harmed to make it.
Now-a-days it’s not made from pancreas, but I’m not confident enough to edit yeast DNA yet.
Sorry, when you say you can do you mean you have, and used it?
I have a small amateur lab at home, yep.
Its really easy to make once you know how. Though it takes a lot of prep and animal pancreas.
I’d rather use pharma insulin though. I only learned for SHTF reasons.
“Mountain campsite says the women fled into the wilderness after struggling to cope with societal changes in recent years”
I can relate to this.
…found with Jara’s favorite, blessed rosary that she gave the group before they left.
“God was with them,” said Jara
Oh, no I can’t. Huh.
Just imagine how bad it would’ve been if God hadn’t been with them! 😯
“God was with them,” said Jara
NARRATOR: “He wasn’t.”
I don’t have all the details but this sounds like some very stupid campers.
I have done a lot of camping and I would be very cautious about camping “remote” in the Rockies. And no way in hell would I even dream About not taking food.
Sounds like they fucked around with nature and found out.
It also sounds like that boy was a victim of parental stupidity. I pity him.
yeah unless youre prepared to deal with the amount of snow that falls in the rockies and hunt/gather for food during that time its beyond reckless to try camping in those conditions. i knew someone that moved to alaska to do that with a buddy. they were way more prepared than these people and they came back within a year with their tails between their legs from mother nature kicking their ass.
The difference between them and your buddy is that your buddy knew when to quit.
Strewn across the ground were empty food containers and survival books
Please master the survival books before returning to monke.
Well ‘They watched YouTube videos’ so really what more could they have done?
Jara said she tried everything short of kidnapping to keep them from leaving, but nothing worked. Now, Jara wants to warn others about the risks of surviving in the wilderness.
“I do not wish this on anybody at all,” Jara said. “I can’t wait to get to the point where I’m happy and all I can think of is the memories.”
I feel so bad for the stepsister
There are certainly easier and less unpleasant ways to end your life. I always feel bad for the kid in these situations. He didn’t choose to have guardians so incompetent at life they couldn’t look after him.
Someone told them they were too stupid to live, and they said “hold my cheese whiz”
