Guy gets lost on N CA mtn 3 hr hike for 10 days.
Bad luck or stupidity?
All you have to do is walk down hill till you meet a creek and follow that till you meet a road and follow that down hill to civilization. I dont get it. If I was out in the desert it might be more difficult. At least I would know where West was after the first day. Plane contrails are allways 10 o'clock to 5 o'clock here as well. PDX in and out.

When we were hunting the mountains we always had a satellite GPS. Not the GPS on your phone.

I use a compass. I had one of the Garmin in-reach thingys with the sat phone at my children’s insistence and I am not bad with electronics , but could hardly turn that thing on-good old compass works fine. I’m always out in the sticks

Back in the younger days when I Snowmobiled in the the High Sierras most of the time you could follow your tracks out if need be, but we where always exploring new routes or short cuts. A GPS and a topo map where a must.

I can understand getting turned around in the Sierra Nevadas, but Coastal mountains like the Santa Cruz? Maybe they're a lot more remote than I thought

It’s pretty wooded around santa cruz.
But still. Take a gps and a friend.

Re: Guy gets lost on N CA mtn 3 hr hike for 10 days.
I knew a group of people once that went on a three-hour tour and almost didn't make it back...

Re: Guy gets lost on N CA mtn 3 hr hike for 10 days.
i've hunted the sierras from ravendale (north) down south past Dorington and so far i've always been able to find my way out, a few times i got pi$$ed at my truck for not being in the same spot i left it in, i guess it was just messing with me and moved a mile or two

Old Dan'l Boone said it best, and I quote
"Lost? I ain't never been lost, I might have been turned around for a day or two before"
