Prepared vs Fieldcraft
I see the two issues as going hand in hand.
Prepared is looking ahead and planning for potential problems while fieldcraft is the ability to put the preparations into action.
As with Mr Kim, a small get-away bag in the trunk of the car that contained a small tarp/plastic sheet, some foil emergency blankets, one surplus wool blend blanket, candles, matches, soup mixes, small pot, signal mirror, road flares and a few odds and ends to fill up a gym size bag would have helped their situation.
They would have been able to move out of the car and set up a make-do shelter under the small trees. This would have saved the gas and tires allowing them to drive out when the snow had melted. If you notice from the pictures, the roads were almost clear and melting fast when the car was found.
