The fire
Hunter:
When limbs become numb due to cold, people may try to warm them up by bringing them close to a fire to warm them up. And get burned in the process.
amashilu:
That is true. I am inclined to think that is not what happened here. Looking for thoughts, observations, ideas ....
SURI:
While the 4 were by the fire, the Yuris were in the tree and therefore also froze earlier.
amashilu:
This is part of your theory, Suri? Four were around the fire and the 2 Yuris were in the tree? Can you explain more about this.

The Mansi hunted this area. I have read a few times that they had regular resting spots, and that the cedar may have been one of these resting spots. When they stopped for an overnight rest, did they make a fire?
The 9 hikers could have made a roaring bonfire, but did not. The fire that was made at the cedar was small and weak and only lasted about 90 minutes before dying out.

Good question. I don't recall such a question being asked before on this Forum. I suppose we have to assume that any hunters would likely make fires, and the Mansi are known to have hunted in the area.
