Why would anyone venture off into the wilderness without letting someone know where you are going? Seems foolish and irresponsible to me.
Car troubles and getting stuck come to mind.
Always, always, let someone know where you are going, and what time you expect to be back! I hope they find this man safe and sound, with the concerns and worries of his family and friends ending up being unjustified.
Hopefully a Logger comes upon him if he is out there.
Peter North; JGalt: I suppose you safety sallys always let someone know where you are going?
You mean a man can’t even go for a walk in one of his favourite places in nature without giving word to someone about what he’s doing?
You’d probably outlaw trappers living alone in the bush for months on end or somebody going out for a hunt too.
Maybe you guys should see about getting a life somewhere.
