Shiloh in his Alaska suit, with the Brooks Range in the distance
As we understand it, all his gear survived the crash, including his cell phone, despite it having no cover. But, yes, that camera, his laptop, the rifle and more, all unscathed. Still waiting to hear if the binoculars outlived him, but it seems likely.
The helicopter must simply have landed too hard. Not sure why. Still waiting on the preliminary report. Note that Shiloh never used a gun of any sort, except when he was required to carry one while working in Alaska and, before being allowed to go there, had to show that he could shoot off three rounds swiftly, in case he were ever being charged by a bear. He'd scared off a bear or two over the years by shooting upward. Never had to shoot a bear in 28 years of working in the Arctic wilderness.
