With todays technology why wouldn't you be using a personal locator beacon hiking those distances from help.

about 10 years ago we had a young woman and her son went camping out in the desert, they had planed well as far as water and food for a weekend camping trip, but not as to fixing a flat. And the few people that new where they had gone didn't report them having been missing for more than a week. They didn't survive even though they were only a few miles from help.
