Yup. Let's say instead of the Jeep dealer I walked into the Fairfield, CA REI and bought boots, crampons and an ice axe and decided to learn to use them on Denali. That's basically what these folks did with their Jeep by heading to the Rubicon. A little ed-you-ka-shun and experience first would have been a fine idea.

We give adults leeway to do dumb stuff like this, de facto, because they're entitled to do so but also decide on behalf of four-month old? Not so much.

The little ones are surprisingly resilient and God bless anybody with the wherewithal to take them backpacking. I limited myself to car camping with my kid but if I'd ever figured out the whole feeding-and-pooping in the wilderness thing I'd have gladly taken her, just not to a place where I know people have died..
