I said they should burn a spare tire. But if you're stuck, you could
burn ALL your tires. You can always get more. You can't replace
your kids' and grandkids' lives, though. Douse a tire in gasoline
and keep throwing wood on.

And where is all this dry wood coming from, in the middle of winter?

I wonder if the search aircraft are equipped with anything to detect a cell
phone. Probably not, but that would be a good idea. That way even if they
aren't in range of a cell tower, the search plane could fly over and home in
on them via triangulation by signal strength.

1) The cell phone would have to be actively transmitting during the
same time period the plane was searching on those freqs.
2) True triangulation requires more than one receiving station. A
single plane wouldn't yield very effective results. In amateur radio
we call this sort of searching a "fox hunt" and do it for fun.
3) The Stivers took steps to make the RV more visible from the air, to
no avail. They are reported to have burned things, also to no avail.
4) You're wasting your time here. There's still meat on the bones Bo.
They won't quit until fresh meat comes along.
