There are a lot of woods behind the location listed above for his home, and beyond the woods, a river. I wonder if he typically walks in the woods? It doesn't sound like he was dressed properly to be out for long. I hope he's safely located soon.

He took his iPad with him. I'm not sure if there were other electronics that he used that were left at home?

The article above from komonews.com said that they had checked his devices that were left at home, so presumably he has some.

"Devices" is rather vague, though.
