“The report also includes agonizing information on Largay’s desperate attempts to contact her husband, who was waiting for her just a few miles away when she got lost. It acknowledges that rescuers came within 100 yards of her location on several occasions, only to miss her.”
Did she not keep a fire lit?
A real smoky fire with green wood and leaves thrown-on would have no doubt saved her.
whatever did we do before cellphones ???
she was relying on her stupid cellphone alone ???
"She had also tried to make fires using the matches and lighters she kept in her backpack."
The article says she was "no beginner", but what else can you call someone who has a lighter and still can't get a fire lit in Appalachia in July?
