In the diaries, you get a sense of how rigidly the hike was structured. For me, they had high ideals, but in reality, they were far more relaxed fun-loving and even moody. This more casual attitude may have had consequences. They missed Dyatlov Pass. They gathered wood before crossing over into 1079, but the wood wasn't optimal. Several were smokers, going without smokes. They drank, but didn't for the hike. They had an experienced soldier in their midst who rose and fell in his personal life owing to temper.
Loyalty and obedience can be mandated as in the military, or earned as in civillian affairs. The test comes in a crisis. Soldiers abandon their post, sailors mutiny and civilians revolt...or they stick together.
The case files lead me to believe the group was cohesive but somewhat lax at their last camp. They moved to the forest as a group. They all likely went to the ravine as a group. From there, three went back toward the tent as a group. The ravine 4 died,as a group.
For me, they got caught out in poor conditions and no matter their choices,the clock ran out. I like the idea of a slab slide being the impetus for all subsequent choices.
