It seems strange that she would hole up for a month when by most accounts it was a few days walk out. Perhaps her partner was the real hiker of the team and when he was gone perhaps the best thing for her to do was sit tight?“Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
the saddest are these, 'It might have been.”

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

I would have at least tried. If there was a fine for 'not authorized user' I would argue about it later.
For amateur radio in the US, there is a phrase in Part 97, the regulations we have for use of the amateur frequencies, has a part that basically says 'in an emergency, by any means necessary'. So if I'm out somewhere, and the only radio to call for help with transmitts on frequencies outside my allotted freqs, I can use it anyway. If I was fined, I would certainly challenge any such fine. Saving lives comes first.--

I was just making a comment on what I would have done, I would have tried the radio. She should have tried it. Rescue would have happened much sooner. Even if it was someone who went out there to check on unauthorized use.--

Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!

I made sure to tell my daughter about escape routes any time I took her hiking. That was often just, 'remember that for this whole hike, going down will take you to the river, and going downstream will take you to a town.' In most of the world, that's a pretty good general assumption. Even if you're terrible with maps, it'll get you somewhere.I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here. -

Yes, and some rivers in the deserts dry up before they reach anywhere. I said MOST places.I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here.
