A 66 year old mountaineer, Yong Chun Kim, got lost during a snow storm in Monte Painier, Washington, when walking in a group, through mountain trails and falling through a hillside. Instead of climbing back and returning to his group, he warned via radio he would meet them somewhere else. He didn´t appeared and was found two days later by rescue teams.To survive, the man hid beneath trees, dug a hole in the snow and burned dollar bills, dreaming about his wife and a sauna. The interesting part was the man, even in life-threatning conditions, was above all the concern for not violating the nacional park's laws, by creating a small campfire that could eventually create a fire. But the warm made by the first dollar bill made him burn another, and so some objects he had with him, like adicional socks, ropes, scarf and thoothbrush, that would save him. Although the incident, the mountaineer wishes to return to the mountain in few weeks.
Maybe this man found a solution that could help with so many problems, burning money!
