Thank God...A good ending for a change...
I’m glad they found them both.
I wonder how they got separated, although as bad as they were it probably shouldn’t be a surprise.
She may have had a sprained ankle from what was just said at the news conference.
Just heard this on Fox news radio. Good news for the day.
Yes thank God.
One of the kinds of shows I like to watch are those survival shows. I can’t imagine a more trying condition to find oneself. I’d never wish such a slow death on anyone especially where dehydration is involved.
Thank God they were spared such a fate.
I was on one the many who believed this was going to be a bad ending on the male friends part. Whew!
Thank God is right.... hope she uses more sense in the future.
“Yes thank God.”
I was one of the many who believed this was going to be a bad ending on the male friends part. Whew!
I like them too. Have any of them ever taken a situation where an injury is part of the survival issue (such as a sprain or broken bone)?
A workable link hopefully...
My tenant here in L.A. was worried sick about her kid’s friends who were also lost since Sunday there... perhaps these are the same two. Will find out tonight when she gets back from work.
I wonder how they got separated, although as bad as they were it probably shouldn’t be a surprise.

Is there a word missing?
I’m not understanding your reference to ‘as bad as they were’.
To my knowledge, only one. “Dual Survival” had one episode where Cody pretended to have a broken leg. One theme repeated over and over again was to not separate. Of course I imagine that’s always a cardinal rule, but probably more so in that situation.
probably a word missing, I’ve been known to do that as I failed internet grammer nazi school.
They were in bad shape, physically and mentally.
Chuckling. I was not trying to play grammar or spelling cop. The one time I tried it on this forum, I misspelled a word and was (deservedly) taken to the cleaners.
I thought that’s what you meant, but did not know enough of the backstory to know if they had been naughty in heading out for a hike.
Some of the comments on this story (the actual story not the FR thread) indicates they may have been doing some drugs. The drug mentioned was ecstasy which isn’t normally something you do while camping is it?
Would be easy enough to get lost out there without being impaired.
Dual Survival did twice as previously mentioned. The Survivor man simulated a broken arm from a plane crash in the Yukon. He gave up on it after a couple days because even he couldn’t survive on one arm.
I have been hiking that area for over 30 years. The trails are well marked and normally plenty of hikers. When you go off trail unprepared that’s when trouble happens. It is thick in brush with lots of ravines.
The hikers are lucky they did not go from June to October or weren’t taken out by a mountain lion or coyotes.
