There are other examples of a lack of knowledge of survival stuff.
One of the most glaring, as far as I'm concerned, is the use of four-wheel drive vehicles. City folk find those are absolutely great for starting out on snow, that they hit the accelerator and off they go.
What they don't realise is that those things are generally heavy and four-wheel drive does not improve the stopping ability nearly as much as it does starting. Especially going downhill. So they can get away very well when the light changes and not be able to stop for the next one.
I've seen some sad situations come out of that.
Somehow it does seem similar to ignoring CO and CO2 from generator exhaust. Not bad people, just poorly educated in that area.
