Yeah I agree. In his story it sounds like he put himself into a situation with no backup if things went wrong. He didn't have water, only had dehydrated food, and only bought a single gas bottle. He hiked down a steep mountainside which he felt he couldn't hike back up.
It sounded like thought he could use the SOS button as an instant escape button. In the end the Sheriff's department literally came and got him and his complaint is that they made a snarky Facebook post. That wasn't professional, but personally I'd prefer them doing that than me freezing to death.
