Thread: what happens if...

one thing I always try to do is make sure the ones I take out know how to get back home if anything happened to me - continually gobsmaked how bloody useless some are at working out where they are - just no idea how to keep track of their movements by ridges tracks valleys etc - one newbie I took out in Te Urewera for 3 days just walked up the track and back each day - had no confidence to go off track at all - one in the Kawekas no more than 700-800 metres from camp came to a junction in track and then had a panic attack and started firing shots and yelling for help - could hear him from the camp hopeless
