The sound of a heli will give him hope, even if it doesn't find him initally. It can be enough to keep fighting.

Here is the latest (posted from his family):
I received updates through Bill w/ SAR and ran through everything with Matts friend Tony as well. Unfortunately, the search did not yield anything. The helicopter was able to do an aerial while the ground crews were out but they did not uncover any evidence of Matt. They did take a bunch of pictures while they were out that they will be reviewing and zooming in on to make sure nothing was missed. He did not sign the registers at the top of Banner or Ritter. Yosemite is still suppose to check the one at Lyell, though SAR does not think it's probable he would be there. SAR took pictures of the registers and are also pulling what info they can from permits issued to try and call/email those individuals to see if anyone might have any info on Matt. The fellow from the repair station is not of any circumstance; he was back a few days now and was actually part of SAR; the only thing Matt spoke to him about was his car repair. They went through Matt's gear again and established that he was not equipped for overnight; tent/bivvy/sleeping bag/stove/heavy jacket were all still with gear. Additionally, no rope or technical equipment was missing so they don't believe he was attempting any climbs. That about sums it up; I'll be editing the notes too with all this. I really think at this point that we need nationwide media coverage to get new leads and get them quick. I've contacted the major ones (Fox, NBC, CNN) but need to hound them more to get some attention brought to this story ASAP.

Still sending good vibes.
Tom, any possibility of passing along those high-res images and 'crowdsourcing' the search to a degree. I remember the friends of Gil Weiss and Ben Horne did that when the two went missing in Peru, and a ton of folks (me included) poured over those photos for hours trying to help. It's a long shot, and I'm sure getting the pics from the government would be hard, but it's something, and I know we'd all pitch in to help.

Contact TomNod, the company that provided the sat photos when Ben and Gil went missing in Peru. The crowd-sourcing efforts proved to be highly beneficial to SAR.

Thanks for the suggestion. I contacted TomNod and also created a Flickr page for Matt. I have my photos uploaded and hopefully more will be added soon.
Please take a moment and take a look at the Flickr Page that was created for Matt. There are photos on there and a few videos of Matt. Please share with anyone that may have been in the area in the past couple of weeks. If more people see his face, maybe somebody will remember something.

Assuming Matt is the Sierras. It would seem the scope is expanding, rather than narrowing.

No, look above; it seems he had very little stuff, and no bivvy gear.

We all know the odds, but more than that, we know Matt and he is a strong and smart person. Right now, we need information more than anything else, so as usual, please keep sharing with individuals that may have been in the area over the past couple of weeks. Thank you to everyone who has been helping to get this out to the community.

Last year, a buddy of mine from San Diego posted a suicide FB status, shut off his phone, and hit the road. One of his friends created a FB page where all of his friends and strangers could post up ideas, including his habits, interests, skills, etc. We had half of Cali on a BOLO. I mentioned that he would probably be in Yosemite, and later I would be correct.
So, if Matt is on FB, create a page and start spreading the word. Post it up on Twitter and you will shet yourself when you see the word spread like wildfire.
