We demand to be taken seriously

quote:

Eller's mother, Julia, said her daughter hiked into the woods, stopped to meditate, then couldn't find her way back to her car. The SUV was found in the Makawao parking lot, her wallet and phone inside.

Julia Eller said her daughter kept walking, surviving by drinking from the creek and eating wild raspberries and other fruits. Amanda lost about 15 pounds. She fell two feet off a ledge and broke a bone in her leg. She lost her shoes in a flash flood. But she did not give up.

“I heard this voice that said, ‘If you want to live, keep going,'" Amanda Eller told The New York Times.

That voice was trying to kill you by pushing you as far from the trailhead as possible. This is an anti-the Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon scenario.

quote:

Julia Eller said Amanda waved at helicopters that occasionally flew overhead, but that the canopy was apparently too thick for searchers to see her.

Maybe if you are seeing helicopters, find a darn clearing?

quote:

Hundreds of volunteers who aided the grim search and sensational rescue of Amanda Eller will celebrate Monday at a barbecue bash promoted by the "Findamanda" Facebook page.

Dozens perish trying to follow her hand drawn map.

never heard of this before this thread but what im reading reminds me of the everest thread

people who literally dont know how a compass works, or own one, who cannot hunt or even fish or learn any of the basics of the outdoors

gets herself lost on a casual hike, now the world rallies to call her a hero for 'refusing to die'? if only they knew that after a day of being hungry, i too often find and eat food

It seems like if you go downhill or follow a river in every national park on the island you’d be out of the park in a day.

wht the christ is the pathetic poo poo I wished the ghosts of genocided native hawaiians murdered her rear end. Goddamn. Pathetic.

I wish the actual Hawaiians got her. Seriously, don't gently caress around there, don't be a dick, don't be a haole, don't gently caress up someone's forest grove at night.

Now if you know people who are Kanaka Maoli and are respected and they're cool with you, you don't get your rear end beat, but you don't get to that level without minding your poo poo to begin with.

Yeah that, it's also why you don't go for the springs and few streams and creeks that exist here in Arizona. Unless you like lepto and glacier gut.

my idiot friend who i ride bikes with is also super dumb and has no sense of direction

we got slightly lost and he said "well we should go downhill and then we will find the river and then we will find the lake and then we will know where we are"

and i just said "no we just backtrack and follow the same trail in reverse until we arnt lost"

some people really are that dumb or have problems with awareness

im not the best at mountaineering or whatever but like some people are tragic at it

you look at it on a map and it looks small but its pretty easy to get turned around and in deep poo poo before you know it

my best advice like i said is if you are getting lost back track the way you came

tree, bushes, and all kinds of foliage all look the same, stick to the trail

now this chick might be dumb for sure but there is a big rear end park that you could totally just live with the bears if you wanted to near where i live, you could absolutely get turned around and lost. i dunno about 14 days though, like i could imagine getting lost for a couple days maybe even a few.

As the days wore on, Eller’s father’s tech background became key to search efforts.

John Eller, the chief executive of a telematics company, introduced a search interface that allowed volunteers to log via their smartphones where they already looked. When they returned to camp, they handed over their own GPS data to coordinators, which then colored in swaths of a map and revealed which areas still needed to be combed.

Lol now I’m convinced too. Her dad just happens to own a company that develops software for just this thing? This seems like a big marketing stunt for the software.
