Only if you stretch the term "unprepared" beyond what people understand the Park Ranger to mean.
Maybe "less than optimally prepared" for the scope of what he was trying to do, but "unprepared" is not fair. "Unprepared" basically puts him in the same category as people who die from hypothermia because they wear cotton clothes.
I don't think "sufficiently prepared that you are not operating at a significant caloric deficient for prolonged periods of time" is a high standard. He was in the same category of people who fail to dress properly. Those people have insufficient clothing, and he was unable to obtain sufficient food. This was all before the potato seeds became an issue.
