Nice to hear good news for once! I wish her a speedy recovery!
Positivity is something we definitely need, indeed. 😊😊😊
good she's fine but how did she get lost so easily, was she with a group? Did she have a trail map or just was "winging it?
Great she was found alive & grateful for the search & rescue team! 😊
Excuse me sir,would you have a bite of cheese?
We had her walk from the chopper to the ambulance and her face bruh ☠️☠️☠️lmfao she was so lost
Talk about retardation 😂😂😂😂 if you don’t know land navigation don’t consider yourself a hiker
Thank goodness! I'm so happy for her and her friends and family!
She went hiking alone? Never a good idea.
Some people don't have others in their life Jean.
@@Infiniti-Benz She could, easily. She's cute.
@@Infiniti-BenzSome people are their own worst enemy!
Finally a bit of good news, glad she made it.
Hiked there many many times alone. Always bring lots of water, a good topo map, a really good compass, and a strong knife. Glad she is ok. There are many wild animals there like mountain lions that get very hungry.
Stop hiking alone. Stupid idea
You should consider a personal locator beacon when out an about alone. A serious injury from a fall or animal attack equals death many miles in the middle of nowhere.
@@CytoplasmicGoo Our grandfathers walked the woods with no help.. It's called using common sense when out in the wild. Put the phone down is what needs to be preached!
@@MrDan1509 A lot of them died a lonely painful death also, most of the mountain men (fur hunters) died in the mountains. Common sense coupled with experience with your surrondings and tools should get you out alive. I use to practically live in the outdoors. Got stuck in quicksand and quick mud a couple of times
What a dumb comment, a phone could have sure gotten her help quicker. @@MrDan1509
Thank God. I wish her a full and speedy recovery.
God didn't find her, people did.
Thank Satan, too bad she got lost int he first place, I blame god.
Great glad she's alive and recovering well. Great job rescue crew.
The lost mine trail is perhaps the most popular trail at Big Bend. No cell service. I am curious to know how she got lost and at which section as the trail is pretty linear. Glad ahe got found and wonder how she got through all 8 nights there.
NEVER hike alone. Especially if you do not have enough water, a map, a compass and other basic assentials. There is another side to this story that they are not talking about.
There's nothing wrong with hiking alone. Do it all the time in the Cascades. However, there are common sense precautions that always must be taken, including NEVER going on a hike without the Ten Essentials; making sure people are aware of your planned itinerary/location/anticipated return time; and having basic hiking safety knowledge.
It's not about hiking alone, but notifying someone on a set time and day if you don't show up is a good recourse. Now that you don't know what you are doing, then yes, always have someone with you who does know about hiking bushcraft skills that can teach you before you are confident to go on your own.
I personally think some of this is done purposely, though, to gain popularity in the public media world. You can't deny the possibility of that not being so?
How about you be smart and just not hike
@@isocarboxazid What is wrong with it is the number of people that get attacked whether by humans or wildlife, plus the number that get injured. Plus the lack of communication in wild areas when something goes wrong. Trails change, get damaged and no matter how good you are at navigating even experts like rangers get lost. Weather changes with little to no warning. It is just foolish.
u are right... the darkside...the nefarous side.... and they just dont learn... guess they never saw it on Utube or read about it....or never had good frds who told them.....
Hiking alone, no emergency gear or weapons, and not checking in is kinda irresponsible behavior on her part. Glad she's alive but....don't do that!
Do you realize she didn’t check in because she was lost.
Many take risks and hike alone. There is nothing wrong with it. Apparently she was prepared enough that she survived eight days out there.
Women should never ever hike alone. That is just dumb.@@mizzury54
Yes you should have an emergency locator beacon.
And a gun.@@fremontpathfinder8463
Something is not adding up. I have been to Big Bend before and went hiking. The first thing we did was check into our room, she didn’t. Got there and immediately went hiking?? Something tells me she was having some personal issues going on.
She is so lucky to be alive. Big Bend is no joke at all.
BBC...haaa
@@Tsound1 hmm okay then
Sounds like she found a water source, and the weather was also on her side. Cooler and misty might make for unpleasant sleeps, but nixes the dangers of the usual desert hazards.
What happend, how did she get stuck out there?
Prayers still works 🙏🏽❤️
Lol except when they don't 🤦
Legendary!!! Found alive...thats a pure hiker. These will be a story to tell her grand kids.
Thank God they found her alive
Me and my dad was there last month. A very pretty place and unforging I'm glad that was not in August when she was missing. I'm glad the young lady maid it.
That's why they suggest hiking permits. The Rangers would always know where you're headed and when you plan on returning. Especially lone hikers.
Miracles are amazing.
GRATEFUL 🙏
thousands of such events... from kayaking to skydiving to travelling alone........ sigh.... when will they learn....
Oh wow! I assumed she was found dead. Nice surprise. Happy for her and her fam/friends.
This is nice to know a happy ending.❤
Great To Hear Amazing News ! Good Luck Honey ❤ !
Hurray, good news!
Stop hiking alone!!!! Sheesh
Not everyone has someone to hike with. The key is to bring a Sat phone or an emergency locator beacon
Likely left her car, then got disoriented and lost and no phone reception. Important to have an actual compass that you don't have to worry about cell towers or battery power. Flares would have greatly helped.
🙏🏿. I couldn’t imagine even thinking about hiking in the woods, leisurely.
I can only imagine the fear she must have felt when she discovered Google Maps didn't work out there.
Google maps can still work if she downloaded/saved the offline maps before she went to the site. I usually do that when I don't want to use data when biking in the city or mountains combine with my 200 dollar smartphone phone GPS.
Ever heard of a satellite phone?
Beautiful 💙🙏🏼☮️💯
Anyone hiking alone should not veer off the trail unless you know the area well or has good experience in orienteering. At the very least she should've been equipped with a GPS or an inReach device.
Sending healing vibes and positive energy to all. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
Was she seriously hiking alone?? NEVER hike alone!!
Thank God 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can tell which commentors hike and which don't.
So glad she is alive and found. But, how stupid of her.
I don’t see how she got lost. That trail is straight forward and easy to follow.
Woww thank God! She is one smart and brave, resourceful woman! She will have many stories to tell her children and grandchildren one day!
Very very odd story, seasond hiker and NONE of this makes any sense, not of it.
Great news ! NEVER HIKE ALONE !
Will wait to see if this is another "lost for attention" situation.
I'll wait with you. I dunno, but for some reason, I got a feeling...
Good news. Yay!!
Great she is alive, now send her the Bill for negligence.
Blessings
God bless her and the first emergency responders. Especially with the cold now here.
What great news!!!
Blessings that she is alive, but what was she doing in Big Bend by herself? That park is scary
Amen.
If anyone is interested in hiking or extrame sports please bring an emergency becon or satalite device at minimum. Extra food, water and supplies flare gun medkit ect
😮 would be pretty scary to hike alone I'd say, glad she safe like to no more how she survived out there how did they find her also
Wow!!!
🙏🏻❤️
i have an idea before you go hiking you put a GPS tracker wrist band thats hard to take off so things like this never happen
God bless
better not turn out to be a hoax like that other case…
Strong Survivor …. Good News for Today
They need to Thank God. Yes, sometimes it seems like too long having to deal with these things. But, you must always believe and keep the Faith.
I'm amazed 99% of the time they don't come back alive.
Amazing she was able to walk and not on a stretcher. She burned all her 8 lives.
❤ GOOD NEWS ❤
What is up with these women going off on their own? Just like the one in Guatamala..... Women need to get some sense.
I'm following the case of the missing woman in Guatamala.
True, yet I also see many cases of men also hiking alone who fall or simply get lost~We have several each year here in Phoenix Metro that ignore warnings about hiking in the HEAT☆:(
True, anybody can be stupid, but the chances of a man surviving in the wild is much greater than a woman. Men are just built different.@@sterlingmatsui154
The remains of the two Dutch girls were eventually found, animal scattered, in Panama.
Yeah!!!!🎉🎉
Praise God and her rescuers❤❤❤
THANK GOD..JESUS MY LORD I THANK YOU.
That's why you don't ask women for directions.
And Amen Amen
All her friends should stop giving interviews like a bunch of intentions who#rs shes okay and go check on her and get off the news already
To bad you didn't say how she was found
Typical of "news" today. They just rush to be the first, with little to no actual reporting.
🙏
Oh there's always a whole group of people with nothing better to do and free helicopters to find you and take care of you
Oh herr no
As crazy as women have been acting latlely, it puts me on the fence.
No gps device ? For the seasoned hiker it is a valuable device, especially if this area is easy to get lost in. Others can also track you if you are lost. Its your responsibility to take care off yourself, and with these devices you can take more care and stop searches for protected length of time and friends and family from worrying over your demise.
I read this somewhere else:
“The trail, which takes about three hours to complete, is in “mountain lion and black bear country,” with steep portions and hot desert sun, the NPS warns.”
Yeah, um no. See, I’d pass. HARD pass.
I've become quite cynical in my old(er) age.
Because I immediately think..." Was this done just for attention?
...and something too about the over-dramatic friend, who came across a tad rehearsed, seemed off to me.
The news report doesn't help either. They just run with a story regardless of having no details.
HOW did she get lost? HOW did she survive? HOW was she suddenly found?
Oh well, whatever. Happy ending. I'm sure she'll do interviews, write a book, and start a podcast or something.
Make it illegal to hike certain trails alone.
Was she hiking alone or got separated from the group???
How much did this cost
And now she will be writing a book and promoting her new 8 day wilderness hiking diet!!
Garmin etrex 10 worldwide handheld GPS navigator $98.38 all day at Walmart
Other channels are like. Huh, she's alive. Drop the story and lets move on.
Good thing it's November. The story would have probably had a different ending if it were summer.
How clear are the hiking trails in the National Parks ? Can you get lost if you stick to the marked hiking trails ?
I’m baffled. The trail is extremely well travelled and obvious, whether in fog or the dark with a light. From brief images on the video, I’m guessing she reached the end, which is a broad rock ridge and then travelled down from there instead of back on the ridge to the obvious trail. I expect she had no understanding of the terrain and there are areas around there that are very rugged and cliff out. She’s lucky this didn’t happen two months ago or probably no one survives that long without a lucky find of water.
Well I know the ones here in western nc are generally marked pretty good and I live smack dab in the middle of the smoky mountains where we obviously have numerous trails!! And no you can't get list if you stick to the trails but it also helps if you have any common sense!! You wouldn't believe the number of idiots our rescuers have to rescue every year!!
Thank you Jesus
Come on people you need a compass you'll never get lost go Trump
She went out there ALONE?! Holy numbskull, Batman. Don't mess with Mother Nature. She could have easily ended up on Forensic Files.
They put a helmet on her head?! So it doesn't bounce off the police cars back door?
Big Bend is no joke. After terrain and animals you have drug and human smugglers too.
's hope ok ok
Good
Maybe she wanted to get lost. People get depressed. By Who and when was she reported missing? Very vague about any facts. Parks should have laws not to solo hike (men or women )and they have to have locator beacon…..
wow, great ending story!
Please, Please DO NOT hikes by yourself. Especially, since you're a female!
Did she go by herself?
When I'm hiking I always use my 200 dollar smartphone's gps and previously downloaded offline map so I won't get lost even in a no cell signal area. I also have a powerbank, a small portable solar panel and hand crank to charge it.
How does one get lost in a park?
Heh. To be fair, this "park" is over 1200 square miles of extremely treacherous territory covered in an endless minefield of plants that literally want to kill you... and that's not counting any of the wildlife that would love to have you for dinner, which she is _extremely_ lucky not to have encountered.
@@the_purple_mage so....maybe being a bit better prepared woulda gone a long way? People lost the ability to think for themselves. It really could've gone sideways for what?
Well, you know what they say about hindsight... 😅
Praise the Lord 🙌🙏
Mom droped off supplies everyday and a gofund me page please.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking this.
Thank Satan she was found, hope she will recover from this !
moron
