Be Prepared.
Cell phones have GPS and Maps [as long as they have coverage].

Because the middle of winter is such a great time for a long outing

They went hiking and used their only means of communication as a flashlight. They came close to getting a Darwin award.

Battery operated flashlights are so 1899.

There are quite a few apps with which you can download the maps for use when not in service.

Does no one know how to use a compass and a (gasp) map? Don’t they know better than to get out of the woods by dark? Or at least take a real flashlight and make sure their phones are charged? geez.
Peopl who live on a screen somewhere.
To: NWFree
Actually it is. Lot less bugs for one thing.
If you go prepared.
Appropriate clothing, knife, lighting, a way to make a fire if needed, the firearm of your choice and extra ammo.
Sounds like they had none of the basics.

Not a bad time if ones knows what they are doing.
I have spent many a winter day hiking miles from a road.
Often in well below zero temperatures.
The best thing about it really cuts back on the number of people out and about.
To: Harmless Teddy Bear
I carry those things when I go hiking or hunting, along with a space blanket and some parachute cord. What I don’t bother to take along is a cell phone.
To: Paladin2
Ten essentials including a mechanical compass and map.
I did a backpack trek with a guy who assured me he had the trail map.
He did. On his Apple Watch. It didn’t go well

I do but it is generally turned off. When I am out it is just me and Lily the Dog. She listens real well but does not talk much.
I check in at night to make sure the homestead is still standing and tell them that all my limbs are still attached.
Otherwise they worry

And crossing rivers in cold weather is a great idea.
