The six relatives – Pete Stivers, 29, and Marlo Hill-Stivers, 31; their children Sabastyan, 9, and Gabrayell, 8; and Stiver’s mother and stepfather, Becky and Elbert Higginbotham – were stranded at more than 1 200m in a mountain range in southern Oregon when they had tried to take a shortcut on a two-hour journey to the coast.

Their survival was all because they:

Luckily, they had plenty of gas for the motor home, propane for a heater and more than enough dehydrated, prepackaged meals the Higginbothams put together to survive a Y2K disaster that never came. (LINK)
