I have read most of the articles regarding James Kim and I still don't understand why he would travel down big windy creek. First, he promised his wife Katie he will be back by 1:00PM. Second, Big windy creek is very steep...it looks like certain death if he plan to take that route...also that would be lying to his wife...I don't think a good father like him would do that...assuming he is a good father who would not dessert his wife and daughters...
I have read an article that said Katie and James heard Helicopters flying over twice but couldn't contact them...assuming that was true then why would James going down Big Windy Creek...a smart guys like him would try to find way to attract the attention of the helicopters searching for them.
I believe his intention would be to go to Bear Camp Road and see if any car would drive by since that is the route connecting highway 5 to highway 101. It is also might be the place where he can send a SOS signals for helicopters or searchers looking for them...
I believe he started to leave his stranded car around 8 AM so he should probably arrived at Bear Camp Road by 10 AM...If he really plan to leave an SOS message for any searching vehicles going by...it would take him half an hour or an hour to do so and then head back to his family by 1 PM...
So what happened around 10 AM to 11 AM at Bear Camp Road and the logging road intersection???
I don't think James was suffering hypothermia at that time yet...some of you claim that he removed all his clothes...but he fully dressed when found with his back pack on his back...he clothes found were extra clothes he brought with him.
Another point that is pretty stupid is they emphasize he is a hero and such with superhuman strength to swim for miles down Big Windy Creek...that's is just insane...
I would believe that James would rather hike 15 miles down Bear Camp road to the next town then swim down the icy cold water and steep ravine to his death...
If James was stranded by himself I believe he would have hiked all the way down Bear Camp road to the next town...but because of his wife and daugthers I don't think he would desserted them...if he did he would definitely hike along Bear Camp road...
So I would like to ask why he chose Big Windy Creek...Could he have fallen into the ravine and coulnd't get out??? Could he encountered a Bear...or could there even be foul play??? I can't believe no one has raised any of these questions...I really hope that James could really rest in peace...at least he knows his family is safe...but there is still so many unanswered questions...and the coroner don't even know when he died...so sad...

i've watched a few news stories and it never added up to me either. I heard that they found his tracks which led to the car. Therefore, he was a hero. But why wouldn't the tracks lead to his body? And why would you intentionally be in a creek if you could just hike for help. I believe he probably fell into the creek that you mentioned

Apperently kati and james consulted a map in the stranded car
that said the town of galice was 4 miles away so james ventured off in the direction toward it not realising it was actualy 15 miles away...so he died.Very sad story.

Dude you have way too much time on your hands. Why don't you put your talents to good use. Try focusing on a real issue instead of inventing things to hurt the Kim family. Why would you want to do this? Yes a bear came out of hibernation just to kill Mr. Kim. You're a genius. You should win the Nobel Peace Prize. Some people make me sick.

James didn't know the area very well. He was from San Francisco. Also, the helicopter thing is not true.

Disorientation and confusion are systems of hypothermia and starvation.
