Good advice. I once was shooting off rockets with my nephew, and one of them landed on the roof of a building. We were on an elementary school field. I wanted to retrieve the rocket, so we climbed on top of a bench, next to the roof edge, and I hoisted my nephew up, he was only about 11 at the time, to the edge of the roof. I ask him, can you climb onto it? He said no, he didn't have enough leverage. So I didn't insist he keep trying and push him further onto the edge, otherwise, he could've slipped, fell on the ground, and gotten seriously hurt. I figured, my nephew's safety was more important than retrieving a model rocket.

My dad got lost in the wilderness when I was a kid. He said he had just been following the trail and then it got a little unclear and he and his friend were immediately lost. They were lost for days. I remember talking to him when he finally got to a phone and he told me he has carved me something out of wood. When I saw him in person and asked about the wood carved thing, he had no idea what I was talking about. Idk what happens in that situation but I think the exposure and cold makes people lose their minds and hallucinate, which might explain some of the strange behaviors.

Just an incredible flashing of your conscious reality dipping into nonordinary states of reasoning so unreal that your eyes can be open, staring, and your feet walking, but all you are aware of is racing and contradicting thoughts dominating what you perceive. I've had it while lost on a hike once before. It can ONLY get worse, not better because it just circles and caves back in on itself getting deeper.

Usually when you’re unable to know which direction you’re going in a forest and become lost, you start to lose your mind a bit, it’s pretty terrifying. That’s why it’s so important to be able to tell which direction you are going whether at day or night, summer or winter. One of the best ways to know in a forest is to look where moss is growing the most along the base of trees. The majority of the moss on any tree, plant, or rock will be on the north side of that object. If you know which way is north, then you can know all the other directions as well. And even if you are lost, you will be able to know which direction you’re moving in, in most cases you would know which way civilization is and start walking that way.

I watch & listen to these stories & every time I go over the story my mom would tell me. When I was an infant, 1989, & on our way home from a family visit from San Jose CA. Going down I5, my mom saw a car behind us acting erratic & flashing their high beams, as it was dark out now at this point. We had no cell phone as it was 1990. My mom looked at me & I was asleep. Feeling uncomfortable & not wanting to stop, as it's just her & me, her infant daughter. The vehicle appeared to have 2 male figures in it. The vehicle, after several miles of acting erratic, gave up & drove off an exit. Much time later, my mom was watching the news & they were covering a story about 2 men who were captured for acting erratic on I5, flashing their lights at specific motorists, getting the lone woman to stop, claim they needed assistance & would in turn take the woman & murder her. These killers were known as the I5 killers. Thank all for a protective mother's intuition, otherwise we may not be here today

So I started walking again calmer and eventually came to another path, I heard voices and was found by a couple of guys who walked me back to camp.

Never leave your buddy behind and never give up! A few years ago my friends and I went on a backpacking trip. We left so late the by the time we had gotten as far as we had, the sun had gone down and there was no moon, so it was just about pitch black. My buddy was unprepared and totally exhausted, his pack was in total disarray and he didn't have the right gear. I had to convince my friend to keep moving down the trail to the campsite that our friends were at, as they had hiked ahead of us. He was at the very edge of completely giving up, but I refused to leave him. We did not know how much further down the trail we had to go. We were deep in the wilderness and I knew if I had left him there he would have decided to make the much longer trek back to the car alone and exhausted. There were a lot of predators (mountain lions, bears, etc..) in this territory and I knew in my gut it was a bad idea. I told him to get off of his f-ing a$$ and f-ing MARCH. Harsh language can be quite damn effective. The campsite was only some 500m away around a large corner in the trail, we made it there. Always stick together, leave no man behind, no matter what!

Yup... It's better they get pissed off than pissed on... or dead. The reality is that whenever you're actually "testing your metal", it's risky... and it CAN really go south on you. Things turn into a crisis in short order, so keep your wits about you... Having a contingency for an unprepared buddy is a massive advantage, AND resist the urge to get into "the finger pointing game"... Shame and guilt are the MOTHER'S of all killers of humans in the wild places. It's the slightest crisis situation (something's gone wrong and shit's real)... and too easily people start asking all the worst questions, wasting time and energy they don't have. "Why'd this have to happen to us?" or "If you'd just known what the hell you were doing..." or "I thought you had the tool we needed!" and a favorite, "You had ONE job!" Stop it. That shit might be okay when you're a dumb-ass noob camping in your own backyard or a community park with a TOPS 15 minute walk in any direction to help... It don't cut it in the real wilds. Focus on the PROBLEM... The correct questions are things like "Okay... so with no damn can opener, how DO we open the friggin' beans? Because I ain't starving to death TODAY!!!" or "Welp... The noob' fell so who's losing some cloth so we can splint that leg? AND one of us has to get some kind of crutch together... or a litter." OR even "No matches or lighter... Good god damn thing I never go anywhere without the mag-bar!" AND yes... If you have to get crude and piss 'em off... anger can be a good source of energy. It kicks into a taste of "fight" syndrome, because you need them to get up and keep going... Use it in measured doses, because too much of it, and they get desensitized to it... It can become a joke. You don't need that either... ;o)

Sometimes you have make someone mad enough and determined enough that the rage empowers them to succeed and gives them the energy to break through. Like me and my best friend. When one of us won’t try something that we are 100% capable of and sure we can do, we tell each other that we can’t, we’ll tell each other “you can’t do it, you can’t do it, you won’t, your not capable” and stuff like that, until a eventually that builds up, creates determination and a little bit of stubborn anger, and then we succeed, so sometimes this strategy helps but only when it’s best to be used. We obviously don’t do this for stuff that’s serious, but stuff like doing a backflip, running nonstop for 5 minutes, working the courage to climb a a little ways up a 10 foot rock face, it’s only physical challenges we do this.

In the 3rd story, I think Mark just got lost! What Ben heard was Mark calling for help a couple hundred feet off the trail. Mark must've gotten up to pee, find a warmer place to lie down or spot for his tent. But he immediately got lost, screamed for help and possibly banged rocks or sticks to make more noise, then stumbled around looking for the trail, exhausted, confused, frustrated. I believe he was delirious and hypothermic or something, and took his own boots off. The being "dragged off" is just a complete figment of Bens dream he was waking up from. Pretty normal for that to happen tbh 😅 I gotta say, I think Ben should have forced Mark to get in his sleeping bag and get a flashlight out for multiple reasons. Also its not a great idea to sleep on the trail. As someone who has trapped game multiple times, the dangerous kinds of large mammals will occasionally walk trails to get around more quickly and quietly at night, not to mention early hikers coming by

There is something in the woods or state parks that takes over your mind and causes people to hallucinate and do things they would not normally do or see. Same person was in a dream like state and was seeing a plave that was not normally there and he somehow snapped out of it and realized he was standing in a random place in the woods that he wasnt aupposed to be in. Last thing he remembered was sleeping in his tent with the group of folks he was on a trip with. He knew better to stay put and SAR eventually found him. However if he did not anap out of this uncontrolled hallucination he could have wound up sitting against a tree and dying from exposure. Crazy sh*t

I once went on a trip with 2 buddies from college to some college event over the weekend. We decided to get off our train 2 stops earlier bc there was a mountain hike trail connecting the two villages where the train would have stopped anyways. One of my friends was considered very advanced when it came to outdoor adventures and hikes. He had chosen the trail based on an internet site which he used on the daily and which had never failed him before in terms of accuracy. Thesite said that the hiking trail between the two train stops would be fairly easy, 2-3 hours max. Definately no need for special gear or anything. Also It was early fall, so we thought the weather would be just perfect too. Come the day of the hike, we got off the train at 8am and didnt arrive at out destination until 9pm. The trail got us higher and higher up the mountain until we could no longer follow the marks properly bc everything was covered in snow. I would make a step and slump hip deep into the snow or fall through small tree-tops, which grew further down the trail and which were covered by the snow. The terrain was very inhospitable, not at all an easy walk. The further we went the more dangerous it became with very narrow space to walk and unprotected cliff edges. Eventually we reached a spot where the trail just stopped. There was a huge cliff wall infront of us going down probably 50-80 m at a very steep angle. The wall was covered in snow and the top layer had already frozen over. There was no other way around this section other than to somehow make it to the other side of the cliff, which was about 20m to cross. Me, a18 yo female weighing about 100-110 lb at that time, I managed to somehow lean my back to the cliff, punch my feet into the ice and get a grip that way. Lucky me, the ice didnt break and carried my weight. I was by far managing this section the safest of us all. My buddies had to be much more careful. There were some ledges along the cliff on which they were able to stand. However, those were very far apart (which my short legs would have never managed go cross in the first place) and were composed of frozen soil and grass. One badly placed step and they would have broken through the ledge and fallen 50m down a cliff onto sharp rock formations, which also almost happened to one of the two guys. Luckily, our "guide" had brought hiking sticks with him, which my unlucky friend grabbed last second to sturdy himself. When we finally made it to the other side, we saw the sunmit cross telling us that our trail had lead us 2 km farther up than was previously destribed on the internet site. Up there we thought the worst thing was over, until I took out my bag of trail mix and almost killed one of my buddies who was detrimenatlly allergic to nuts. I just breathed into his direction, that was enough. Miraculously, he didnt die up there and we were not forced to call the equivalent of our country's 911. The hike back down the mountain was much worse than up. At some point all our phone batteries died. Luckily, our "guide" had come prepared with a second phone so we didnt get lost in the forest in pitch black darkness. At the end we managed to find our way to a strange road in the middle of the forest which led us back to civilisation where we had to wait 1 hour for the bus to take us to our shelter. In that 1 hour we almost froze to death in our sweat and snow drenched clothes. After that it was 45 minute bus ride and another 20 min walk until we reached our destination. Whenever I look back to this story, I just laugh, retrospectively thinking that after all everything turned out fine and it was a fun trip. But now listening to all these stories really made me realize how bad this could have turned out. Stay safe people. Tell your friends and family where yall are going when attending a strange activity and never go alone!!

Mark’s story sounds a lot like severe hypothermia to me. It can make you delirious and act in ways that make little sense- he could have just thought “I gotta get off the mountain, now.” He’d already told Ben he wanted to leave his pack behind due to its weight, so that tracks. Jacket open, boots off, gloves off, points to paradoxical undressing- when hypothermia gets to the point that it is lethal, your body stops feeling cold, then feels nothing, then starts feeling really, really hot. One of the things people often do is start to shed layers at this point even though it hastens their demise.

Would explain not following the trail since not properly awake and also could have been calling out to his friend in a panic since having a kind of "night terror" and that is what Ben heard in his sleep.

I’m pretty sure this is the third I’ve heard in the last couple days and also how many are found in swamps. There are two separate stories about two little boys wondering into the forest and found on an island of some sort in the middle of a swamp! Those two really are sticking with me. They’re almost identical. And both suggest a person or animal involved in getting them there. One was the cows, and the other I can’t remember the title but he was two yrs old at a family party chasing a cat. These stories scare me to death to go to a national park or anywhere near a swamp 😳😱

Lava flow hiking. Now that's something I know a thing or two about. Walking off that trail isn't a big deal. Your biggest concern is tripping and maybe break a leg or arm. Someone attacked those women. People have been hiking/walking over lava flows in Hawaii for centuries without trails. The same at Craters of The Moon. In Hawaii when someone goes missing and is never found it's presumed they got too close to an unstable part of the sea cliff by an active lava flow ocean entry and fell in.

Is it possible they had the dogs with them and the dogs returned to the vehicle after? I'm not even half convinced that would be true as I wrote that. We have many legends of loyal dogs waiting with their deceased owners for help and of loyal dogs waiting for their owners where they are told to for vast amounts of time. (One of our most famous is The Dog on the Tucker Box). I wonder if the women could be overcome or disoriented by some sort of gas? Sulphur maybe? We have volcanic plugs in some National Parks here 🇦🇺 but I've never heard of my country having lava tubes or lava fields. I'm curious about the conditions in those areas that have them. The circumstances with the find of the vehicle, could be they picked up a hitch-hiker (or two) who forced them to leave purses, phones and dogs in the vehicle and walked them away. Maybe chased them to the more inaccessible areas? Could they have died from exposure in that area at that time? Urgh - this story has my mind racing for possibilities more than any other!
@myrrhsolace5875 Жыл бұрын
Hmm. I’m an older woman living near lava fields like that which I often explore; that kind (pahoehoe ) is not particularly difficult to hike on. “Inaccessible “ might be a poor description of that kind of lava field. BUT if you are not paying attention to landmarks and direction it is easy to lose sight of a trail, get confused about which way you came from, and get lost, since the terrain looks a lot flatter from a car, but when you’re walking over it the elevation changes are enough to severely limit how far you can see. Such rock can have loose surface layers, which can lead to falls or sprained ankles if careless. Where I live you can’t walk too many miles without hitting a landmark that gets you oriented again, but it would be different in a park like that. A walk intended to be a little detour could end in disaster without any foul play.

I went on a short hike alone one time in my college days. A arrived about an hour before my class started, and it was a very scenic area so I decided to venture into the forests and up the mountain overlooking the college. I had a good time, took some cool pictures, even got about 5 feet away from the edge of the cliff that overlooked the campus. Great fun at the time, but remembering it, my hands are sweating as I type this, thinking about that cliff. It was prolly a ~200 foot fall to the bottom. Its only in retrospect that I realized how dangerous what I did was. How easily I could've gotten attacked by some animal, fallen down or worse. Watching these videos, I realize how lucky I was that nothing went wrong.
@kevinmalone3210 Жыл бұрын
Concerning the first story, either Jeanie got lost, and fell off that cliff, or she may have committed suicide, by leaping off of it. The second story, with the older women, Amy and Jo, I believe what happened in their case was when hiking out on the trail in the lava fields, they were hit with a storm, and ending up getting rained on. Since they didn't have umbrellas, or any type of rain gear, they decided to go off trail, into the lava fields to find shelter from the rain, under some rocks. One of them got injured, say a severely sprained ankle from walking on the rocks, and could no longer move. The other one, went for help, got disoriented, and couldn't find her way out. Both ended up dying from exposure. They figured, since they weren't going to be gone for any significant length of time, they just decided to leave the dogs, and their cell phones in the car.

She committed suicide naked? That's the thing that doesn't add up. She was naked.

Its more likely in my opinion she was killed by someone and later thrown over the edge.
@kevinmalone3210 Жыл бұрын
@@matthewgordonpettipas6773 Granted, you made a good point about her committing suicide. From what I stated in my original comment, those were the only two most likely theories that made sense to me at the time. I'll give you my reasons for her ending up in the river below the cliffs, and found dead. First off, I think we can rule out that aliens kidnapped her, and threw her off a cliff, or tele-transported her out there to drown in that river below. I'm not trying to be smart, just ruling out some unlikely theories. You think a killer abducted her, then threw her off a cliff? Possible, but highly improbable. Why? When you're out in these national parks, such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, etc., you're pretty safe out there in the wild from being attacked by some psycho, than you are in any city. It's very rare you're going to get murdered by someone. Killers, creeps, criminal scum don't hang out in these places, it's not their MO. They have nothing to gain. The only known incident I'm aware of this happening was in 1999, in Yosemite where 4 women who were there were murdered by a serial killer, by the name of Cary Stayner. He first arrived there in 1997, and then committed murder, in 1999, four years after Jeanie disappeared. Plus, she was close to a tourist lookout when she disappeared, so don't think there were any murderers lurking around there in a widely known national park, ready to snatch away stray women, too many possible witnesses in the unlikely even there was one there. I further researched this case and this is what I found. The surviving family of Jeannie, or Jeanie hired some trackers. Men who have some experise in figuring out what may have happened to missing persons.These trackers did a profile on her, and found she was an independent willful person, and a business woman. She had no experience with the wilderness. They looked at her last location on a map, and calculated the distance she walked, and where she could've ended up. In the end, their calculations were fairly accurate, within a distance of 1/4 mile. They calculated she walked to an area that became rugged, but kept walking into this rough area because she had an independent willful nature. It turned dark, and she walked into a creek of some kind with smooth granite shoulders and a granite bed. She fell into the creek, was washed downstream and drowned, or was knocked unconscious and drowned. The creek emptied into a river. The debris buildup, likely happened after she was taken down stream and was already dead. I've hiked out in wilderness mountain terrain before, and unless you're familiar with the area you're hiking in, it's easy to get lost if you don't stay on the trails. The only other reason, she didn't come back was to commit suicide. I'll rule out suicide, because why wait to go to Yosemite, to kill herself when she could easily do it at home? Also, she was engaged to be married and went on this vacation trip with her boyfriend. I mentioned suicide just as a possible theory. So why was she naked in the river? What happened to her clothes? They deteriorated off her body. She was in the river, dead from July 9th, till she was found on Sept 3rd. That's 56 days. A dead human body, is going to undergo alot of decomposition during that time. When it starts decomposing, it expands, bloats outwards due to the gases inside. Do you think her clothes, or what remained of her clothes will stretch and be torn off her body when her body started bloating and decomposing too? I think so. The river currents, with her body rotting away, gradually wore down her clothes, then they just fell off of her, leaving her mostly naked. She could've easily just been wearing shorts and a T-shirt, since it was summer. She never walked off the edge of a cliff.
