Three women's Death Valley day trip soured after their GPS led them to the edge of survival. Three lost women catch a break and hunker down, hoping to be rescued.
Whenever I go out on a multi-day camping trip into Death Valley, I always have 10 or 12 gallons of water in my vehicle. Getting something as simple as a flat tire in the summer can be a death sentence if you don't have enough water to survive for a couple of days if your spare is no good or if you don't have one to begin with. I also camp with a SPOT beacon, so I can summon help at any time even when there is no cell phone signal.

@@tracystout-powers5245 Nothing wrong with GPS, in fact it is fantastic. I have travelled to the most remote places on the planet using GPS. The problem here was the crappy little software they had to interpret the raw GPS. GaiaGPS has excellent topographic maps to download onto your device. But I still always carry good quality topo's and a compass with me. This muppets didn't even have the wherewithal to backtrack their own route. Nothing would have helped them.
what irks me about these people, you put in an address and then blindly follow the gps, why the hell dont these people ever look at the broad view of the map to see where the gps is leading and to see if it goes back to an ACTUAL road? its not that difficult!
@@tracystout-powers5245 still thought, just the idea of taking a leisure trip while she had a daughter undergoing surgery is insulting nonetheless… hell, why stop there? Might as well take this great opportunity to go to Disneyland without her other daughter!
i dont think it was a planned surgery, might of been a last minute thing so she was already out of state or had planned to be out of state and her friend was coming from hong kong. The procedure isnt really risky or anything, its standard and her daughter was an adult. I understand why she still went on the trip, the friend from hong kong would prob be out of thousands of dollars from cancelling
These people would qualify for the Darwin Awards if they hadn't made it. You don't go messing around in the desert off-road without having a vehicle built for it, supplies, knowing where you are going, emergency gear and letting someone knowing where you are going. These people should have never left whatever suburban hole they came from. Another bad example of over reliance of technology, they are lucky not to be dead.
Wilderness navigation gps app work like a charm. You don't need cell phone service to use it. Up to date maps maps and everything. Perfect for the most remote areas.
@@RickZackExploreOffroad I'm interested in exploring those sorts of places that most tourists don't travel to or find out about. How should I incorporate that mindset into a trip and make sure I see unpopular things of note?
These people were terribly unprepared. But I have my own personal 'GPS went wrong' type story. I was on holiday in Scotland with two friends, we mostly relied on phone gps and gps built into a car to get us where we needed to go. It generally worked until we wanted to visit Skye. First thing that happened was the GPS directed us to a ferry that wasn't running. And then on the way back we took an alternate route instead of the main road back to where we were staying. We ran into some railway work and were in for a long wait so we decided to get back onto that main road, however the gps got us stuck in a loop where we kept looping the same area several times until we ended up driving back to the railwork site and having to be escorted over train tracks.
few days ago a man was found dead in the desert- forget the location but they then found his car in a parking lot of a scenic point with a note "out of gas" turned out he was but 4 miles from a 24/7 gas station but didn't know it.
They went all the way thru the Hidden Valley, over Hunter Mountain, down into Saline Valley? Pretty amazing if they actually navigated those roads.. going up Hunter is 4wd switchbacks. There is literally one road that leads to Teakettle, they didn’t think to turn around? This story makes no sense.
From the map trace of their journey it looks like they turned around just before they would have found the Racetrack and then instead of turning left at Teakettle Junction to get back to the paved road they continued straight and got lost over Hunter Mountain. I think maybe they knew a left at Teakettle would take them back to the highway but they really wanted to see the Racetrack and figured they'd find it by taking Hunter road. None too smart, and why they didn't turn around after an hour or so is another question but at least they survived their own foolishness.
@@northpolltv6598 How is that possible? There is only one road which leads to Teakettle Junction from that direction. The most obvious thing would be if they simply drove past the Racetrack and never saw it and then took a right at Lippincott Pass and over into Saline Valley, but if they want off of the main roads prior to reaching Saline Valley, maybe they ended up traveling even further south and then over Hunter Mountain. Unless they turned around and traveled back north to the the road that branches off to the West at the bend in the Racetrack Valley Road. Maybe that is what they did. I am not entirely sure how they would have gotten from there over to Warm Springs though.
Resepie for disaster. 120degree hear, street tires on a gravel road. way to few provisiont, water and sucn, no contact outsicde. I have been to Death Valley serval times but not to the ractract. yet.. One thing is the only way to contact the Rangers, is land line phone or internet, which are located in Stovepipe, Furnace Creek of Panament Springs. Plus i would not plan anything in that month in the valley floorl.
If you’re gonna be near remote places like this you need to bring a satellite phone and a gps system that finds your lat/longitude so you can pin point your exact location
This seems to blame technology instead of ignorance of the proper way to travel. Having a map and using it two different things. Use the map in wilderness, then the gps compass then the gps map only to place yourself. ABC not helpful here either. These dinks deserve each other.
During a trip from Vegas to the Hoover Dam, we had never been there before and wanted to make sure we were at least on the right roads and such.. we followed the GPS to Boulder and I figured ok from here we will see signs and no longer need the GPS..we saw one sign in the middle of town and that was the last sign we saw that said anything about Hoover Dam and which direction to go..We ended up in Kingman Arazona before I turned the GPS back on.. figured I had to have gone to far...yeah like 75 miles to far. My wife had even turned on hers on her phone just to check briefly and hers said continue on this road..by that point we were a good 20 miles past. So we continued on.
I got lost too in the middle of nowhere, but lucky have have been prepare with lot of food and water with extra gas tank on the back. driving halve a day and finally find my way back. Stupid GPS is useless. it makes me drive in circle.
I don't understand why anyone can't just make the map bigger (zoom out) and see whether they are going toward the paved road or not? Am I missing something here?
A lot of them aren't that great when zoomed out. The more I zoom mine out the less it shows. Eventually there are only the major highways and a blue line on the map. Mine is out of date map wise but that isn't a major thing as I only really use it for the last mile.
Should have had provisions, also, they have offline maps you can download on to your phone - best for hikers, Would recommend. You can use it on your phone without mobile service.
Gaia has very good maps to download. Better yet is to have a detailed topographic map and a compass. If off the paved roads in the desert you should always have at least 3 days of food and water.
I've been to a camp for 3 day and 2 nights and during those times, I learned to navigate with a compass and map. With that exprience, I don't think I'll be lost anytime soon. Also, for some odd reason, I am able to navigate in a city I that I have never been to just by my instinct. Hm... weird.
Because your brain has a new mapping technique that you learned from camp. Rather than things unorganized for direction memory wise like a lot of people, your brain has better order.
Newer GPS tech on phones you don't need a cell phone signal. With Google maps you just download the area that going to be and you could use your GPS on your phone with no cell phone signal.
The woman, although nice, is extremely stupid. It's not called the Death Valley for no reason. When you go on such trip you take multiple gallons of water with you, a compass, a map and some common sense. Not to mention, she went on a trip while her daughter was undergoing surgery. Who does that?
1] I just made a trip through Death Valley. I rented a brand new truck, not a car. I had already bought a map and a hiking trail book with detailed maps... meaning I had a GPS, a cell phone that astonishingly worked most of the time, and the maps. I bought gas at 2 out of 3 vendors in Death Valley, to make sure I had a full tank, and to support the vendors. 2] Why would anyone take a Hyundai anywhere, much less to Death Valley. 3] @6:42 The Death Valley landscape is disorienting to women. What? This amounts to an annoying type of sexism, where women basically get a 'vagina pass' where they are allowed the irresponsibility of children. 4] My intelligence and preparation (new truck, maps, gas, water) ensured that thousands of dollars of helicopter fuel and police time was not wasted. Where is my TV segment?
@@Budgettechbro They were incredibly lucky. The road to the Racetrack is incredibly washboarded and the rocks, in many places are sharp and can easily puncture sidewalls. Even all terrain tires, aired down to 15 psi can rupture. They are lucky that their ignorance and lack of common sense didn't kill them.
Wow, tough crowd here! I'm just glad they were rescued. Have to wonder why they didn't break into the trailers though maybe better shelter and/or look for some means of communication inside not to mention food, water.
Hi, Jenny here. We did "break into" the trailers, although I was tiny enough to squeeze into a prop up window and unlock the door for others, so no damage was done. Inside we found canned chili, tea bags, coffee and even used the bathtub. There was hose water outside. We contacted the owners to apologize and pay for any damage but they didn't want anything. They actually came for a visit at our home a few months later, and were going to lay out survival stuff on the screened porch just in case someone else find themselves in the same situation like us.
@@jennyspersonal thanks for the reply, as I said I am so glad you all made it out ok. Sounds like some nice folks there too- the ones who's place you got into I mean.
I bet that GPS told them precisely where they were if they just looked at the map as a whole traveled into the direction where the nearest city was they would've been fine
LOL, the setting of place can make a bigger difference. I think schools should have a survival training once in a while so that when the students grow up, they would have the survival knowledge to call on if this were to happen to them.
They recorded the highest temperature on the planet at Furnace Creek on July 10 1913. That was 134 F. The highest temperature in the last 10 years was 129 F on July 1 2013. The highest in the last 3 years was 127 F.
It's not GPS that is the issue. It only provides a position and time stamp. It is the software that uses that data that was not up to par. Of course someone that is too clueless to even backtrack is probably a lost cause.
Most of DV does not have cell service. If you travel in these areas you need to have a detailed topographic map, like those issued by the BLM and a compass. You also need at least 3-4 days of food and water, even if it your just out for a day trip. Of course the car they had should not have been on those roads in the first place.
This incident was not caused by the GPS. It merely told them what they asked. The problem is that they were too "spur of the moment", too "ill prepared for the area" and, honestly, not smart enough to be out of the city. It was caused by a series of really bad decisions. They are incredibly fortunate to have survived this situation.
why on earth has a new gps mapping system and cell tower not exist in DVNP??? but they have a fuqin $100 million dollar resort and restaurant, and never ever fuqin ever take a regular car with street tires offroad there smfh, that park is the size of the state of connecticut, you could breakdown in a remote area that no one ventures into for 2 months, if you explore it get a map at the visitors center and turn your navigation off
This woman lacks common sense. If you are going to a questionable place such as DV, you definitely want to let as many ppl as possible know you are going. Then you want to rent a reliable SUV for the trip, not a Hyundai or low rent car for those intense driving conditions. She's either not smart or have a death wish because she has no retirement benefits.
So mean! But I will say, that as a landscape photographer I've gone solo hiking deep in the Mojave nearly a hundred times in my life. And you absolutely HAVE to plan your trip when you go into the desert. Bring tons of water, a 1st aid kit, keep the gas tank full, blankets, flashlights, paper maps, salty snacks. And for God's sake, don't go off-road unless you have a 4x4. You can also use to sun's position to get your bearings. Don't make impulsive decisions, stick to known landmarks & all will be well.
City GPS will get you your more lost than they will find out where you're going... You need a handheld world wide GPS one you can even be in the ocean and pretty much find A spot within inches of the the last time you were in a spot in the ocean.. heck they could take you up in the wilderness everywhere not those stupid City ones that are in your car.. they are not the GPS to have if you are in the middle of nowhere.. You can't go wrong other than not keeping them charged..
Just saying, if I were to be going there. I'll bringing a map and a compass with me so that I can go back to the basics if the technology fails me. Also, if it's night time, I'll used the stars if I have to. Also, don't ever put your trust in technology, they will fail and you will be disappointed. If you're on a long distance road trip, always bring a map and compass on the sides.
Or maybe more kids should be involved in something like Boy Scouts instead of sitting and playing video games all day, and Boy Scouts should also go back to the way it was a couple decades ago. They do almost nothing, now.

Also learn how to navigate using the stars too. Learn how to use a sundial.
