I just wanted to say that while, I too, would like to know BL's cause of death, I don't think it's a priority for LE at this point in time. MILLIONS have been spent on this - and there are 600,000 other missing persons, many of them dead.
At first, I thought they should have had a couple of different kinds of anthropologists come out to the scene and help them retrieve more of BL. But, why? Why bankrupt a small community any further...when there was enough to ID him? Why does it matter, now, how he died? It's over.
Case is over, must be shelved, and there are so many. cases where living persons might be found - or criminals could be prosecuted, and I see why LE is focusing on those instead.

As to the
tent, it is in a MSM interview with the stepdad. He spoke with the investigators/rangers at the scene. They pondered what they saw. I trust him - and them. It's entirely possible. We will never know for sure.
Presunably, the lack of other belongings means those were still in the van, never offloaded. If the tent was first put up and then taken down - and that was the only camping step taken, then it was probably early evening, which makes sense to me. They probably drove around looking for another place at first.
I agree that there was no computer use at that campsite (although it may have had weak cell service - reviews of the campground say that it does).
And no way, IMO, that Gabby sent that Yosemite text - she was too involved in trying to be precise and keep her bearings to make her Youtube channel.
And throats do not contain ribs...I agree there.
