If this happened to a 12-year-old today, they’d have to use Google for advice. In other words, they’d just die.
The poor kid must have not spent much time in the woods. It is hard to not reach civilization if you have any hiking and backpacking experience. Sorry, but it just is.
I’ll bet there are many young kids today who don’t even know what the Boy Scouts is all about other than there are girls in it now.

Grit, faith in God, training….a wonderful story and a worthy read.
I missed the “Terrifying Warning”
These days, all you have to do is damage the wires on the poles and they’ll know right away, exactly where you are.
Isn’t this the basic theme of many of Disney’s “Sunday Night, Wonderful World of Disney” television series of the 60’s. Shows that seemed to routinely be filled with the ideas of grit, determination, not giving up and hope?
I read this book in the ‘70s. Very interesting.
I always thought mountains were older than that.
Today’s kids would never go on any hike in the mountains as there would be no cell service, charging for their phones or Starbucks for their lattes. Sad but this generation is mostly a bunch of snowflakes.
Ping...
I will not be supporting this movie as the producers could not be bothered to actually film it in Maine where it originally took place. Most probably because the location they did use was willing to throw gob of government welfare at them.
