“Running by her self in an outback area...what a clueless nitwit.”
I’ve often gone running in remote locations. Hiking too. Used to work jobs in the 80s where I went way out into the boonies. Normally two of us, but if we rolled the truck or ran into serious trouble, no one would start looking until we failed to return on Friday night.
I have friends in Utah who often work in places with no cell phone coverage. On horseback. Solo.
Perhaps they have heard of satellite phones.
A little bit of trivia my father taught me when I was young and we would head out for some distant lake to camp and fish. Every two hundred yards or so, we’d stop, turn around and study the terrain. That way you’d recognize the objects that stood out. Simple trick that saved my bacon over the years - hiking, riding, jeeping.
