Sad. But really how far off trail do you have to go to tinkle to get lost?
If it was that thick I wouldn’t think too far. And if it wasn’t thick seems like you could retrace yourself. I don’t know, just sad.
Embarrassingly, I only know the trail from Bryson’s wonderful book A Walk in the Woods and reading trail blogs - which are quite interesting. If you’re so desperate for a tinkle, just squat in the woods. That’s what it’s there for!
Well, she's a girl....

Clearly it wasn’t just a tinkle. But yeah. Even so, why go so far off the trail that you can’t see where it is?
Maybe it was too wet to start fires, but over 3 weeks? Surely one day would be dry, and there are for sure fire starters. And why not a solar phone charger? And why didn’t she find the trail rather than to search for cell bars?
Sad story.
And why do they always say “she died doing what she loved best.”? Starving to death??

I read the complete article. She was supposedly a veteran, highly skilled hiker who had been to numerous classes on survival and such. Also, she had a compass, matches with her so to build a fire if needed. I’m thinking she had a case of dementia or maybe she wanted to die for some reason. Call it suicide by faking being lost?
