When I became hungry, thirsty, and grouchy, I'd put some effort into saving myself. Especially in an instance were I was pretty sure technology was not getting out.
I've never been one to count on batteries and staying in touch as a sure fire means of survival anyway. Almost sounds like a death wish unless the stored messages offer a better explanation. Can't really visualize a place east of the Mississippi that an uninjured person could not walk out of in a week or so.
