    Man I hope he's OK. That guy seems so cool. I listen to him on the radio, plus follow his stuff here. He's got my prayers too.

    So in reading Shawn's post, Dave does have his iphone and usually sends out updates. Let's hope he's in an area where maybe there is no service, or it's possible his phone is damaged or out of power. Or maybe, as Shawn stated, he went off the grid for more than one or two days. Sounds like he's an experienced hiker and familiar with Mount Charleston, hoping for the best outcome and he makes contact with search and rescue soon.

    This would be night 3

    It gets cold AF out there at night and zero contact with family or friends. I don’t have a good feeling about this

    The idea of all of this is very sad and scary. We can only hope that his experience climbing has provided him with enough tools to stay safe.

    Ya, by now you would think he would have started a fire to signal help.

    From what SKrallyman said above he goes on solo hikes. That's what I think people are holding on to hope with... he knows this mountain and is experienced at going alone so hopefully he's just bunkered down somewhere at the moment.

    It doesn’t matter how experienced you are...you should never hike without a companion. Hopefully he is found alive but a Hugh mistake on his part.

    Trust me, I don't even like going fishing without someone and half the time I'm at some damn pond. But I do understand how for some people this could be a lovely form of relaxation and a chance to clear one's head. This is from someone on Twitter who seems to know him so fingers crossed he found one of those safe places and is back on here posting soon

    Latest RE: David Malinsky @VegasPointBlank. He is still missing from a Saturday hike on Mt Charleston. Too windy for drones & helicopters today; hoping for tomorrow. Trained professionals of all kinds are involved. There are safe places where he could be taking refuge if disabled

    Does hiking include climbing?

    How was weather?

    Any snow on ground?

    What I worry about here is other health issues occurring during the hike. That and a fall. If he’s an experienced outdoorsman, he can survive on his own for a while.

    can't imagine what his family is going through...pure mental torture


    hits close to home as I was just hiking and camping out that way a month ago and worst case scenario's run through your mind. Always respect Mother Nature.

    Can’t stress how freaking grim the outcome is getting
    as bettors naturallly most our lives revolve around percentages
    the fact that at the end of the video they said they prolly won’t even search again
    until midweek made my chest tighten a bit
    Hoping for a miracle here ,
    I was rude to him once and he never said a bad thing back
    it’s driving me crazy ,
    hope to get another chance to apologize and give this guy the respect
    he deserves and always deserved

    And I would add, he is a guy who obviously has a great deal of humanity (the good kind) in him.

    I know it can be annoying when someone says this in these type of
    situations , but I truly wish there was more we could do to help.
    Im just hoping the people searching give it there every last ounce of
    energy and create a fail proof tactical approach to cover every inch of ground
    as fast as humanly possible .
    Im too stupid to know if there are animals there that could attack
    because if he has a way to stay warm and no wildlife has got him
    then without a shadow of doubt he is still alive at this moment

    He was only hiking , not full blown climbing /scaling the mountain to the top
    Hope he packed something to stay warm , food you can go 21 days without
    water around 3/4 depending on how hot or how much energy you are expending
    I’m sure he at least brought water with him being a meticulous mind he is
    You can tell he thinks things through just by reading his sports articles

    Very smart people who always calculate, can make very basic mistakes. I hope he lives to tell this story.
