Jake Marshall of Norwich, UK visited the British Museum in London. He used the face swapping filter on Snapchat for precisely the purpose it was designed: switching faces with ancient sculptures.
The ancient sculptors knew their stuff: the app easily detected faces and turned Marshall into gods and kings from distant times.

No one would ever have found him. He did the smart thing. Inconvenient for the people of WL, but they would have done the same thing in his place.

Stunt? I suggest you look the word up in a dictionary.
Next time you're lost and the authorities decide you aren't worth the $100,000 it would cost to rescue you would you be happy? I doubt it.
Plus I think the folks that live that far out in the boonies are most likely prepared to handle a loss of power.
What do you do?
;)
I would not mind my power being cut to save a life. This man was smart and I am thankful he is OK.
I can understand the surrounding areas that has their power cut being a little peeved, but hopefully they'll be understanding and sympathize.
Now, if it's my wife who is on life support... well she probably doesn't wanna know my answer!
As for the cost, if he had brought proper signal gear (which he definitely should have) the rescue would have cost nearly the same amount of money anyway.
In the end, a couple hundred people without power is a small price to pay for the life of one person, and I don't care what anyone says. Those in need have resources in town to cover those needs - including those in the hospitals.
But I don't blame the man for being creative in his SOS. I've heard Les Stroud say he would set a forest on fire if it would get him rescued and home to his family, but that is NOT something he recommends as a starting point.
If he had planned ahead, he wouldn't have had to resort to such a risk. It's not exactly safe chopping down poles.
