Did similar on overnight trip.
Walked two hours from the car and stopped for a breather then noticed I wasn’t wearing my bum- bag with knife and fire lighting gear etc.
So dropped my pack and walked fast to and from the car, one and a half hours each way then picked up pack and carried on.
Saw bugger all and got nothing and next day hob-nail express back to the car, three and a half hours only to find I’d not shut rear door on car when I retrieved my bum bag and inside light had stayed on and battery was flatter than a very flat thing!
So…another hour and a half walk to the nearest cockies place and they headed back to my car and we tried to jump start my (diesel) car but no go. So back to the cockies for another battery.
Luckily they sort of knew who I was and trusted me to return their battery ( and charged my battery)
Whew!!
