i have been to a friends cabin about 2.5 hrs north of winnipeg and the skeeters up there were bad. Gilliam is 11 or so hrs from wpg, so i'd imagine they are exponentially worse.
i heard mantracker theorizing that these boys either had help or had a stash of stuff in the area.
seems like these boys maybe on their way to joining DB Cooper

I’ll be the first to admit I am no expert at thermal imaging, however I’d be shocked if trees gave off the same heat signature as a human.
I've using a pretty expensive FLIR thermal imaging device, and it is very hard to distinguish heat signatures in an environment like the one they were searching in.
There is better equipment available, but there are so many 'similar' signatures that at some point everything is throwing you off.

Breakfast Television dating there has been a possible sighting of these guys in Northeastern Ontario.
"The OPP said they received a tip on Wednesday morning about a small white car driving through a construction zone on Hwy. 11 in Kapuskasing, Ont., located nearly 500 kilometres north of Sudbury and more than 2,300 kilometres southeast of the fugitives’ last known location in Gillam, Man." https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/ont-po...nues-1.4532709
I rememeber the mayor or a police officer describing the variety of flies they would be encountering and it reminded me of Tommy Lee Jones organizing the search in "The Fugitive".
I'm starting to really doubt some of these tips. Either they are mistaken tips, or people are trying to screw with the search, and how can you dispute it, I saw what I saw officer.
After 2 weeks in the woods, even if they had supplies to start with, they have to be running out and living in the woods is not only harsh, but things like your calorie input go through the roof.

In my experience, in situations like this, everyone wants to help and everyone wants to be the one who helped to catch the bad guys, so folks call in everything they possibly can.
During the Likness/O'Brien request to the public, for instance, to use a local example, the public probably called in every single "green truck" in Calgary as 'suspicous', and most of them more than once. None of it was malicious or done in ill intent so far as I could tell.
I also cannot see how the tip from York Landing by the Bear Clan could have been true, as apparently they found zero trace of them having been there after searching with dogs and trackers.
Which would mean that the tip was sent in to get attention, and could have been the difference in them getting away.
But I agree with Captain, unlikely that they could have survived.

Do you really think that? Am I crazy/naive to think that that's preposterous? Does that actually happen?

I'm not police dog expert, but I'm guessing a dump is not an ideal starting point for tracking a scent...what kind of 'trace' did you expect them to leave?
Also not sure on exact weather, but it sounds like there have been a few heavy rains which are not exactly helpful for tracking, either.
Highly unlikely they are dead yet, unless it was by their own desire IMO.
I just don't see how you can say you SAW two guys looking around in a landfill, and then when the RCMP show up with their dogs and tracking units they find literally ZERO evidence of anyone having been there. No scent, no footprints, absolutely ZERO. Apparently an advance team showed up immediately in a helicopter, and within 2 hours there were teams all over the area, and yet they didn't find a single shred of evidence that anyone had been there.
The weather wasn't great, but it also wasn't bad enough to keep them from searching with dogs.
If they looked for that long and found no trace of them I hate to say it, but the tip was blatantly false, and if so then it was done to get attention. A lot of media outlets picked up on the Bear Clan afterwards and gave them some attention.
