A Belgian YouTuber, known for solo wilderness treks died in a snowstorm in Swedish Lapland. Despite having multiple experiences on his own in the outdoors, he was ill-prepared for the extreme cold and heavy snow. He was found frozen to death not far from his tent, with only a sleeping bag and a toothbrush in his backpack. This tragedy highlights the risks of wilderness challenges and how psychological tendencies, like optimism bias, can cloud judgment.
