    5. @@davepowell7168 Not sure how you block a channel. But we haven’t done anything to you. Patreon is a way for creators to make income. With the extra income we earn using Patreon we help those in need and assist families who have missing loved ones financially. If you go onto facebook you will find mamy stories of us putting the money made into good use. In 2021 we also donated two cars to two families who lost their vehicles in a tornado that swept through West Tennessee. How many creators do you see out there paying it forward with their income? But i guess since you blocked the channel you will never know.

  2. Inchworm’s story always breaks my heart every time I hear it. She seemed so sweet and just wanted to enjoy hiking despite being directionally challenged.

    2. That’s my thoughts! She had such a great smile and a wonderful aura around her in all her pictures I have saw. Would loved to have known her.

    4. It is sad but if you are “directionally challenged”
      you really shouldn’t hike alone
      or
      at least carry GPS tracking/navigation gear.

      A good GPS unit would have put her right back on the trail.

      It’s too late for her
      and her loved ones now
      but it really should be a lesson
      for everyone else.

      I feel sorry for them-
      I just don’t understand
      why she would try to do this alone
      and under-equipped
      when she knew that
      she tended to get lost.

      It’s nothing to be ashamed of-
      just use the right gear.

      Obviously,
      even just an emergency tracker/communicator would have saved her life as well as sparing her family from such an agony.

      How horrible is it for people when finally finding someone dead
      is actually a relief?

      If you won’t do it for yourself,
      do it for the ones you love.

      Searching is costly and dangerous-
      many people get hurt or even die
      during searches,
      especially in bad weather.

  3. The real mystery is how this channel isn’t over 1 million subscribers✅….so well put together thanks for the effort as always 🇺🇸 🇮🇪 ☘️

    3. @@patrickglaser1560 I’ve been saying that since I started watching this channel 2 years ago. I KNOW YouTube is screwing them over cuz I see them mentioned in many many videos on so many other channels and yet they NEVER get more subscribers (or so it’s shown.) and same with the like and comments….. they (as in YouTube ) remove pretty much 95% of the subs and like and comments to make it seem like they aren’t popular and also to screw Steve and bill over. It’s VERY frustrating as a fan to see the LITERAL BEST CHANNEL have to be scammed so bad. Steve is the most liked man I have heard of!!

    4. Not only that, if this woman was insistent on hiking alone, she should have had basic wilderness survival training and/or a gps or satellite phone. A simple thing like placing your tent or reflective blanket in an area without canopy might have made the difference in survival.

    1. Yes!!!! That’s what I was thinking. Even if a bowel movement is needed, you really don’t have to go far. Any decent folks will completely ignore you IF you aren’t quite far enough away. No way am I travelling deep off path.

    4. Unfortunately, some people (including my wife) can get lost in an elevator. One person I horse ride with is another example.

      Once, after a ride, we loaded our horses and headed home on paved roads. My friend took the lead. About a mile down the road he took a right turn onto a major state highway we had turned right off of only a few hours before. Of course he should have turned LEFT to go home.

      Imagine if this had been in a wooded, desolate area with poorly marked trails and he was alone!

      Her friend should never have left her alone on the Appalachian Trail. Hindsight is always 20/20 though.

      I’ve been ‘lost’ a time or two and it is hard to fight down panic, remain calm and figure things out.

    2. I grew up in northwest Ontario. I used to try and walk a straight line from the backyard of our cabin to the road 400m away, never made it, usually came out of the woods100m from where I went in. Never go off trail.

  8. My fiance at the time went hunting in colorado with his friends in 2020. It’s a trip they have gone on many times over the years. I talked with him just before they headed out to their base camp because there is no cell signal up there. The next evening, I got a phone call from his friend Kevin, one of the guys in the hunting party, I knew something was wrong. When I answered, Kevin said Ted went missing. They searched for him when he didn’t show up at the Plateau they were heading for, and he didn’t answer them on the radio. They did thankfully find him. He had wandered off the mapped out trail and died from high altitude cerebral adima and a massive heart attack. I was grateful they had found him before a mountain lion dragged him off and hid him forever. His sudden death was devastating enough, but to never have found him or knew what happened to him would have been agony. My heart goes out to anyone who has lost someone in the woods, never to be found, and never to have an answer as to why.❤

  9. I’m not a hiker but it seems to me, if you’re heading into the wilderness, packing a satellite communication device (EPIRB?) and GPS would be an absolute must.

    3. Also people need to always carry some kind of firearm… I cannot understand why people go out into the wilderness with no type of weapon at all!! You never know who or what ur gonna come across and should always be prepared for danger!!

    3. Some people are just not very bright, as evidenced by her going off on her own when she could not even find her way back from the restroom area to the trail.

    1. That is not going to protect you nor is it going to guarantee that they find your body, I live on Vancouver Island in a few years ago we had a hiker go missing, he was a weekend warrior so you know within his circles they all think they’re great hikers but the Bushmen such as myself laugh at those people but I digress,, he was also alone, he went missing with a Locator Beacon they couldn’t find him, my landlord’s boyfriend and his friends found him, they went out in the summer and rather than go to the very peak of one of the mountains they decided it was dangerous and just to take the little path around the bottom on that path they found his body, because of course when everything was snow covered he climbed to the top which every Bushman knows you don’t do and he slipped and ended up in some calving snow he slid down to the bottom of the crevasse and was subsequently buried with snow,, search dogs couldn’t find him they couldn’t pick up the signal from the tracker beacon under all that snow and right next to a rock face.

      People who feel that they need a Locator Beacon or a gun should probably not Venture into the greater wilderness,, I’ve spent over 20 years in the bush and I have been where no other person has ever walked, I’ve done so unarmed and I have run into every single kind of Wildlife, the thing about the forest is if you act like pray you’ll get treated like prey, Trail Runners are morons and often referred to as fast food by Bushman because they are just running with their earbuds in completely oblivious to the fact that they look just like the prey animals,,, as I’m writing this the part of the video is playing talking about the retirement age woman who ventured off alone who had a poor sense of direction,,, why did her family let her do this why did her husband let her do this there was nothing accidental and I’d love to see her health records because she’s not the only old person who finds out they’re sick and says I just want to run away to the forest I don’t want to be poked and prodded to death or put in a home to rot…..

  12. I find it heartbreaking that searchers at one point were maybe 200 yards away from where Mrs. Largay was eventually found. The woods were so dense that the guy that found her didn’t see it until he was a few yards from her. I also find it sad that she did what is recommended most to do when you’re lost, mainly, find a safe spot,stay put, and await searchers. Yet, unfortunately, they missed her.

    2. Sad, Please Enjoy your Adventures don’t get lost I’m just going to look and bam what the. Mountains Forest and all they entail are wondrous but Deadly.

  13. I’ve hiked a lot and In 40 years and have been hit 3 times with bad storms. I always just dug in and rode it out. I always carry more than I need and know to be prepared for just such situations. Plan for the unexpected.

    2. @@Our-cornwall-life I live in one of the few areas with quite large forests in Scotland. There’s an Abbey where Benedictine monks stay. A few, very elderly ones whether almost deliberately or bc of dementia have wandered out , never been found.

    3. @@Looshfarmer ahh true I should have said England lol don’t think England has anywhere you could get losses unless you count using google maps in Cornwall then your definitely screwed 😂😂

    5. @@eddiecruz2613 The area where he was last seen is not very wooded. It’s been searched on the ground and by drone but still no sign of him.

  15. A common denominator in almost all cases is the lack of using paper maps and compasses. For some reason they substitute battery powered cell phones. No service and dead batteries result.

    2. Always best to keep a map and compass in the backpack. Phones play up, batteries die, could be dropped and break… So many things could go wrong.

  16. Thank you for remembering these people. Our society is so sick. We aren’t even given time or the opportunity to leave. I remember going into work the day after my Dad died— I remember thinking, there’s NO WAY I should be anywhere near a professional environment right now. I was SO distraught. It was shocking, very sudden. My coworkers barely even acknowledged it. It was so painful. When I lost my baby too, a miscarriage, I had to tell my work partner, (job responsibilities and why I was missing work,) and he didn’t even say I’m sorry, nothing. I feel like everyone is so desensitized now. Nothing shocks us. Nothing even gets in. We are flooded with so much, it’s over an overload.
    I now make a conscious effort to always set my phone down and away when speaking to someone.
    I make eye contact and actively listen.
    I want to be better. I want to help be apart of positive change.
    I don’t want these deaths, ANY deaths, to just …not matter.
    Thank you for doing this all.

    4. I’m really sorry for what happened to you, I lost 2 pregnancies myself and had no one by my side. You re completely validated and I feel the same way.sending love and blessings

    5. Thank you for sharing! As the most rich country in the world it is the bare minimum that we, as a collective, care for the basic necessities of life, among those protection for all of us so that none of us feels like we have to go into work sick, injured, or grieving.

  17. Anyone who hikes alone should have a sat phone or tracking device. One press of the button and just sit and wait for the calvary. May all of these hikers rest in peace!

  18. When I was 15 my dad and another gentleman were flying home in a two seater plane. The gentleman got disoriented in the mountains of Washington. The plane crashed in a wooded area. There were searches, but at that time tracking wasn’t available (1964). It was 10 years later that the area was being logged off that they found the plane. We finally had closure.

  19. When i lived at ft Irwin military base my small dog got out of the fence in the yard and was missing for 5 full days. Then i got a call saying he was found out in the training area, and he was lucky to be found because they were not using that area again for months but they went to patrol out there and found him. He was tired, hungry, and very dehydrated after a week in the California desert in the summer time. With how much i wondered and worried about him in that week and kept thinking about everything that could have happened to him I know I would go crazy with it being a person i love lost with no answers.

  20. Two friends and I were in the back country of mountain Rainier climbing in the cowlitz range when we found the remains of a college student working for the park service 10 years prior. She had fallen off a cliff onto a ledge. She was identified by a family business pen in the pack. She was miles from where she was supposed to be counting mt goats Julie Filio was her name
