Agree. I don't feel sorry for stupid people like this. Why would you drive out that far, on your own, with no friends, trust GPS (not have an actual paper map), spare jerry can filled with full petrol & never even been there before with someone.

@@Chasefamilylife BECAUSE THIS YOUNG LADY HAVE AND ALWAYS CARRY A LOT OF COW MILK AT HER CHEST..AND THIS YOUNG LADY WILL SURVIVE WITHOUT WATER AT ALL IN ONE MONTH
She learned lessons the very hard way! My friend and I did a road trip and I wrote all the directions down on a piece of paper...including where all stops could be found for food and gas and how far out... brought gallons of water with me and a full tank of gas. My friend laughed at first... but thanked me later when we were HOURS in the middle of NOWHERE with No service!
"She filled her tank with 1/3 of gas to try to save money" That makes absolutely no sense at all. How does that save you money? Eventually you'll need gas again? You'll always eventually have to pay for it. What does it matter of you did it then or 2 hours later?
@@twermm she might be dumb but that doesn't give the right to call her fat. Weight doesn't have anything to do with intelligence and cleverness, but clearly you lack of that.

She learned some vital lessons it’s pretty basic Arizona where she started to up to Flagstaff is wide open and you’ve gotta have gas you’ve gotta have water I have to know what you’re doing you gotta be able to have cell coverage and that’s all basics and she just took off like a big bird without really thinking about it I’m so glad she’s OK 👍🏼
I went back to Montana recently and my mom picked me up from the airport around midnight. Her truck broke down on the way back to her place and we couldn’t get a tow truck that late at night. So we were stranded for about 4 hours until the reservation police saw us and luckily he drove us to my mom’s place. I’ll stick around civilization thank you very much. No road trips for me.
It's not a stupid trip if executed with even the slightest modicum of common sense. It's totally doable to just wing it and do the trip alone with mindful assessment of resources, such as gasoline, and regeneration of them as needed. But trying to save money on gasoline was definitely the illogical approach; instead, refilling to a full tank of gasoline is the logical approach--an investment for survival. What good is it to save a few bucks if you end up dying and unable to capitalise on those savings?
borgoat12 ...I didn’t say it was a “stupid trip”... My comment implied that going on a trip alone and unprepared is stupid...in other words, some of the decisions that she made were “stupid”.
If u attempting to go to the dessert 3 things u have to have before steping dawn from the road 1. Full tank of gas 2. at least 5 gallons of water 3. A spare tire *couple of them if u could* I am from saudi arabia and I have never go to the dessert with out them Wish you all a happy and safe live 💙

I really appreciate this story as I will tell this to my young daughter incase she ever needs this info she did a great this and stuck it out. I am so proud of her and her skills great job you have got to be a very strong person!!
When I moved out near the desert my father was insistent that I never get below a half tank of gas. I’m so glad my father gave me that advice and I’m very glad she’s ok.
Yeah when I started driving I was 19 actually older than most kids but I finally got a car and my dad said don't ever let it go past a half a tank cuz his deal was what if some you know bad guy was chasing you yeah quarter tank goes real fast that last quarter tank of gas so make sure you always have a half a tank so I've lived by that most of my adult life I think it's great advice also
@@karenking5357 this was the exact advice I got from my papa... who has ran from and escaped the cops 3 times because he can race and never sat on an empty tank. Words directly from his mouth 🤣. I miss his wild rambunctious yet wise old words. He was a really cool old man. 70s as hell.

Sorry, you can't blame Google for this. Once nightfall is approaching, and you can clearly see you're low on gas and nothing is on the horizon, you turn around.
Lmao how judgmental some of you are is so concerning. Makes me think you’ve made some real dumb decisions in your life so you trash others to avoid your bad choices.
I'm going to share some wisdom my grandfather shared with me when I was a little kid. He said, "one day you will be driving & I want you to remember something for me, it's just as easy to keep your car full as it is to keep it empty. Fill it once and then use what gas money you collect from your friends to keep it full, rather than trying to get a couple bucks here and there to go somewhere and then be on E again. That way you will always have a full tank in the event of an emergency.
this girl was lucky; but for all those tourists following google maps *WRONG DIRECTIONS* heading them to most dangerous neighbourhoods in south american countries...R.I.P.
Haha! Right?! I was trying to get out of a parking garage the other day... literally NO EXIT SIGNS. So I tried Google maps and it took me on a 30 min drive round and round this garage! Sounds stupid but I don't use parking garages and I just happened to rent a car from an airport that was parked in a parking garage
I have a friend that swears by Google maps. First they track your every move, second they have a law where law enforcement can look at your travel history in the database, and they always send you where the street is close or leave you 5 blocks away or ahead of were the hell you asked to go. Do not use google maps if you don’t have a good sense of direction
If you are traveling it's always a good idea to let somebody know each morning/night where you are currently and what your destination for that day/next is, even if you are traveling with a group. That would atleast help your loved one's look for you in in right place...and wouldn't have to say what this dad said- 'was looking in the wrong place'. Not just getting stranded, natural disasters happen, landslides or flash floods can happen and roads can get cut off...your entire group might need rescuing.
I do maintenance in a building and If I'm up on the roof or in a suite dealing with electrical I always let someone know what I'm doing. If my trucks there in front and it's getting dark, look for me. I may be down.
She made a few mistakes to get herself into that ordeal, but once she was in trouble she DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. Proud of that girl! Happy she made it out!
Lol not really. She wouldn’t of made it much longer. 3 bottles of water a day!? That is not rationing. She didn’t do nothing lol. She already had a lot of food and water. All she did was eat that and write help. No survival tactics at all
@@jamesjames6792 You can tell a lot about someone’s level of intellect by their compulsion to insert “lol”, “lol” into negative comments of small-minded criticism. Intelligent folks see that and instantly you’ve lost all credibility as you look more like a nervous or insecure child rather than a mature adult with something of intelligence and substance to add. If I were an immature childish type, I’d add some “lol”s to this comment in a childish effort to belittle you more than you’ve already belittled yourself. But I’m not interested in looking like an immature child making light of someone else’s mistake. I’ll be the adult simply shining a light on yours and hopefully you’ll learn a little something and reconsider your childish use of the “lol”s when criticizing someone else. Especially where criticism wasn’t due.
@@jamesjames6792 she had enough bottles of water to drink 3 a day for a week and a half. That’s good rationing at first, I’m sure as the days went on she cut back and then had to make a tough decision about how much to take for the walk not knowing if she would get cell service. She made smart decisions and smart decisions have to be readjusted
It concerns me how judgmental some in the comments are. Like sure she made some bad choices like you said but it happens and once she was in the situation she saved her own life. I really appreciate you trying to remain positive instead of trashing her. It’s disappointing reading some of these comments.
so this lady has enough to survive a week and drove 1 hour from the road and instead of walking up with water she decided to chill in her car for 5 days seems legit
I’m glad she’s made it through. I’m a little paranoid, so I always keep my tank 1/2 full. Born, raised and living in Texas, there’s a lot of bad traffic and accidents that can add an hour or two to your commute.
Other than the terrible decision to only buy 1/3 tank of gas when traveling to remote locations in a desert, she was very smart to have an ample supply of food and water, and then the common sense to write a note stating that she left on foot in certain direction.
@@joea3936 lots of people do that but they damn sure try to be prepared and not intentionally put 1/3 tank of gas in their car in some mythical attempt to save money then proceed down a very long backwoods dirt road and not have sense enough to turn around before there gas runs out
Too many children are being brainwashed into being Lez. What most Democrats don't comprehend is once society gives up following God on one major thing then it becomes a free for all on all sins - and evil tyrants end up in control too. Imagine living under Kim Jong Il where the people are starving and they shoot you for trying to escape. One lady told of all the sadness saying they don't even have a word that means love. Oh but maybe you'll get a kind dictator huh? Yeh sure it always works that way, or I mean never. If you did luck out and got the world's first kind dictator, it probably wouldn't be long before he was gone and you got the typical evil one.
I liked the GPS company’s statement: “drivers to exercise common sense” and this girl goes out into the wilderness with almost an empty gas tank and no reserves. Brilliant.
@@Kinikia95 This.. if you are on a 3000 mile road trip you may as well fill the tank up lol.. stopping less will save money, less chips and drinks lol.
Always download the offline map for the area you're driving in, and for surrounding areas just in case. You never know when you'll lose service and the map will go wonky, giving weird directions. Also, always fill up to full for any road trip.
I live out in Saskatchewan Canada. Most roads and highways are pretty busy and there’s cell service mostly everywhere enough to call someone, but my dad still always tells me to have extra clothes, boots and to never let my car get below half a tank in the winter time incase of an accident and I’m stuck in the ditch and waiting for help
More like the survivor man episode he did out in the forest solo where he cut his pants down to fasten a kerchief and then…. Lol.. later back to a pair of pants
“In 500 feet, turn Right onto Gyser Ave.” “In 2 miles, reach the end of Gyser Ave.” “In 100 feet, dive into the ocean.” “Dive in the ocean.” “Your Destination is on your left. Good luck surviving. Goodbye.” Is this what you mean?
I'm glad she's okay but I do want to say: never go somewhere alone (especially the desert), always fill up all the way, don't rely on maps use solar powered GPS and also a physical map, carry flares, and always have back up water and food. These are just the bare necessities. Glad Amber made it out of there, the desert is cruel and unforgiving.
why would u only gas up 1/3 tank of gas? i mean i routinely run my gas tank till the light goes on, but i am in a city that has a gas station every couple of blocks... you are traveling in the desert...
I’m glad she is ok. I’m kind of amazed she could make such a poor decision with the gas, yet be so prepared with water, food, think to leave a note, and to make the word help. I guess she wasn’t thinking she would end up in the middle of nowhere
Wow! I've always wanted to go to the falls. Thought about going often and didn't! Being alone and in my 80's but in mind feeling 30, I do all kinds of word trips alone. Glad I didn't take the trip yet because I have hard time walking!
I've lived in Arizona for decades and never ever let my gas tank go below half full. So glad the young lady was rescued from what can be hell's heat depending on time of year.
It's generally a better idea to stay with shelter, food and water in a situation like this. She assumed help may be on the way and leaving supplies behind isn't what you want to do (also spotting her car and a help sign is easier than just a single person). It's daunting to set out into nothingness to maaaaybe get help. You can't carry that much water with you.
@Los - But that point just....isn’t. How does that save her a few bucks on gas? She’s still gonna need at least another full tank to get home. That’s why many people are saying she staged it for attention - Fugazi. But I don’t wanna pin that on the girl. I give her credit for being that stupid.
I would never drive alone in a remote area, but you did all the right stuff you had water and snacks thank god you new what to do and thank god your safe and you you kept it together.
First of all I'm so glad that you are okay I'm so sorry you and your family had to endure that. Young lady let me tell you what a brave and resourceful lady that you are. I'm so glad you're okay. I hope you know God was watching over you and he got you back home safe and sound please in the future always feel your car up. Thank you for sharing your story
"It is important for drivers to keep in mind that GPS Devices are to be used as navigational aid only it is the responsibility of drivers to exercise common sense." Google is saying y'all dumb....😂😂😂
I did a road trip through the desert during the summer and since I'm so paranoid, I had two cases of water, some MRE's, a satellite phone, a car shade that was silver and very reflective. I also stopped at just about every gas station and topped off. Yeah it's paranoid to pack like this but I wasn't taking any chances.
Right. You were prepared. What I don’t understand is why she never walked back down the road? She was planning to do Havasupai Falls , which is a 10-mile hike from camp, at least. So, she should’ve had enough water, food, & gear to do that hike round-trip, which is at least 20 miles, plus any time you spend at the Falls.
8:15 I'm in tears crying alongside her. Omg I am so happy she's ok. This felt like a whole movie and it must have been a nightmare for her. MORAL OF THE STORY, FILL UP YOUR TANK! My mom and I learned from watching horror movies and we never let our cars go beyond the half mark. Her training helped her out tremendously. Wow.
@@patriciasheck6378 right, she could have honked at that passing truck. She did nothing right and the rescue services are endangering other people by suggesting she did.
@@lookatthisguyhere7712 just because she did quiet a few things wrong while under stress load doesn't mean she didn't do anything right.. The Giant sign was right.. trying to get a black smoke signal fire was right... Rationing food and water was right... writing a sign when leaving your base camp was right.. going in the direction of the closest major city or area that u know has cell towers was right... Keeping yourself as calm as you can was right.. Those are all things she did and those are what rescue services were clearly talking about.. If there are humans on this planet that can't figure that out and are in danger because of this they are not gonna make it very far anyway..
I was about to comment about her not putting more gas into her car. But then I was really surprised to see the part where she made the giant "HELP" sign and then the handwritten notes she taped up along the road. That was pretty smart.
I dont know if I believe this wasn't done on purpose for a story. How can someone purposely NOT fill up their tank for a road trip? And how did she keep her phone charged for 5 days? Questionable
Finally someone who thinks the same. Her mistakes don't match her preparations. Nearly had enough water for 2 weeks... they have water at the grand canyon..
Or you mess up big time drive into the desert without gas, maps, or an inkling of common sense and die from stagering stupidity. In that case it's less of a humbling lesson and more of nature saying, "Organisms like her help to keep the food chain moving, primarily by acting as carrion".
I would never, NEVER drive alone into the dessert with 1/3 a tank filled and no extra canisters. That’s actually insane.
Agree. I don't feel sorry for stupid people like this. Why would you drive out that far, on your own, with no friends, trust GPS (not have an actual paper map), spare jerry can filled with full petrol & never even been there before with someone.

Sounds stupid but I don't use parking garages and I just happened to rent a car from an airport that was parked in a parking garage
I have a friend that swears by Google maps. First they track your every move, second they have a law where law enforcement can look at your travel history in the database, and they always send you where the street is close or leave you 5 blocks away or ahead of were the hell you asked to go. Do not use google maps if you don’t have a good sense of direction
This literally gave me chills and a tear to my eye glad she’s OK God bless her and her family❤
If you are traveling it's always a good idea to let somebody know each morning/night where you are currently and what your destination for that day/next is, even if you are traveling with a group. That would atleast help your loved one's look for you in in right place...and wouldn't have to say what this dad said- 'was looking in the wrong place'. Not just getting stranded, natural disasters happen, landslides or flash floods can happen and roads can get cut off...your entire group might need rescuing.
I do maintenance in a building and If I'm up on the roof or in a suite dealing with electrical I always let someone know what I'm doing. If my trucks there in front and it's getting dark, look for me. I may be down.
I mean she’s only 24 but if you’re going on a road trip especially to Arizona it’s pretty common sense to always have a full tank of gas!
@Forcedtolie Aboutblacks everything gotta be political lol stfu
yup i had a road trip from LA-sandiego-lake havasu-las vegas- and back to la. filled up to the top everytime, i was 18 at the time
She made a mistake. But, at least she did everything else right.
@Forcedtolie Aboutblacks Trump wouldn't even know how to put gas in a car
@Forcedtolie Aboutblacks Trump's idiocy has nothing to do with my intelligence. I'm not talking about myself here.
She made a few mistakes to get herself into that ordeal, but once she was in trouble she DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. Proud of that girl! Happy she made it out!
Yes! She really did. It was foolish to go out alone, but she did so well in this situation.
Lol not really. She wouldn’t of made it much longer. 3 bottles of water a day!? That is not rationing. She didn’t do nothing lol. She already had a lot of food and water. All she did was eat that and write help. No survival tactics at all
@@jamesjames6792
You can tell a lot about someone’s level of intellect by their compulsion to insert “lol”, “lol” into negative comments of small-minded criticism.
Intelligent folks see that and instantly you’ve lost all credibility as you look more like a nervous or insecure child rather than a mature adult with something of intelligence and substance to add. If I were an immature childish type, I’d add some “lol”s to this comment in a childish effort to belittle you more than you’ve already belittled yourself. But I’m not interested in looking like an immature child making light of someone else’s mistake. I’ll be the adult simply shining a light on yours and hopefully you’ll learn a little something and reconsider your childish use of the “lol”s when criticizing someone else. Especially where criticism wasn’t due.
@@jamesjames6792 she had enough bottles of water to drink 3 a day for a week and a half. That’s good rationing at first, I’m sure as the days went on she cut back and then had to make a tough decision about how much to take for the walk not knowing if she would get cell service. She made smart decisions and smart decisions have to be readjusted
It concerns me how judgmental some in the comments are. Like sure she made some bad choices like you said but it happens and once she was in the situation she saved her own life. I really appreciate you trying to remain positive instead of trashing her. It’s disappointing reading some of these comments.
Not alone anymore my friend, u r loved. 💗
Who would not fill up with gas while traveling in that type of terrain..?
But I am impressed that she had water and plenty of it. I am glad she is ok.
She is just young and not thinking anything will ever happen to her.

I’m glad she’s made it through. I’m a little paranoid, so I always keep my tank 1/2 full. Born, raised and living in Texas, there’s a lot of bad traffic and accidents that can add an hour or two to your commute.
Other than the terrible decision to only buy 1/3 tank of gas when traveling to remote locations in a desert, she was very smart to have an ample supply of food and water, and then the common sense to write a note stating that she left on foot in certain direction.
She lost me when she said she drives 1/3 of tank gas.. very stupid and easily avoidable
She was never told to stay with the car. Number two rule after carry an excess of water..

I always keep driving an hour and a half towards a direction I don't know, in an area I'm not familiar with, with a quarter tank of gas.
In the dark
Guys we all make dumb choices in our twenties lol but agreed I woulda turned around aloooot sooner
We all know when the sun is soon to set. C'mon.

Too many children are being brainwashed into being Lez.
What most Democrats don't comprehend is once society gives up following God on one major thing then it becomes a free for all on all sins - and evil tyrants end up in control too. Imagine living under Kim Jong Il where the people are starving and they shoot you for trying to escape. One lady told of all the sadness saying they don't even have a word that means love.

there's no such thing as "saving money" when it comes to your SAFETY

I'm so glad she got back. I wonder what it feels like to have a Dad that loves you like that.
I've been on numerous road trips, you always always fill up your tank when you get gas! You never know what might happen!
Why don't people take petrol with them anyway? My mum used to do that.
Meredith * can I go on a road trip with u babe ?
Meredith * true
Thank you! I thought everybody knew that. Hell I even have a backup 5 gal. gas can. I guess if common sense was common, everybody would have it.
Meredith * yes and we carry ex 5 gallon
Always download the offline map for the area you're driving in, and for surrounding areas just in case. You never know when you'll lose service and the map will go wonky, giving weird directions. Also, always fill up to full for any road trip.
in other words, use common sense.
This^
That's true even for seattle! 😄 I remember trying to get to an important appointment when my phone glitched out on me!
@@Ts0usermax 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Uhhhh - remember, she wanted jelly beans instead of gas
I live out in Saskatchewan Canada. Most roads and highways are pretty busy and there’s cell service mostly everywhere enough to call someone, but my dad still always tells me to have extra clothes, boots and to never let my car get below half a tank in the winter time incase of an accident and I’m stuck in the ditch and waiting for help

God was with her the whole time. What a very beautiful soul she has...❤️
I'm glad she's okay but I do want to say: never go somewhere alone (especially the desert), always fill up all the way, don't rely on maps use solar powered GPS and also a physical map, carry flares, and always have back up water and food. These are just the bare necessities. Glad Amber made it out of there, the desert is cruel and unforgiving.
Bruh 😂 if you’re traveling so far might as well fill up the tank
exactly what I said during that part..... wtf!
Not if you have a death wish. Did you hear about friends, or lovers( girlfriend )? She didn't seem to be heterosexual.
Tyron 213 Bruh no one was in the car to drop 5 on the tank tho...
Dude, for real. Especially being from Texas. Thats like 101.
So true
Im going out in the middle of the desert. I think 10 dollars is enough gas yea.....facepalm
I don't understand the saving money part. Did she think she wouldnt have to fill it up again
she should have to pay for her rescue.
I always fill the tank.
MerryAce same
some ppl who live paycheck to pay check might not have enough til the next pay.
Amazing amazing story ! Wow ! Stories like this gives me hope !

why would u only gas up 1/3 tank of gas?
i mean i routinely run my gas tank till the light goes on, but i am in a city that has a gas station every couple of blocks...
you are traveling in the desert...
akui88 The video literally says "to save money."
B.A. Chan look college students aren't the richest
Gav Com then she should've waited till she had the funds to fill her tank
If you have to save money by only getting 5 and 10 bucks in gas you dont need to be taking a road trip. too bad she didnt loose any weight
Cuckerino Kripperino You are so rude I can't even begin to describe to you. Your close-minded brain probably wouldn't take anything in anyway.
I’m glad she is ok. I’m kind of amazed she could make such a poor decision with the gas, yet be so prepared with water, food, think to leave a note, and to make the word help. I guess she wasn’t thinking she would end up in the middle of nowhere

Wow! I've always wanted to go to the falls. Thought about going often and didn't! Being alone and in my 80's but in mind feeling 30, I do all kinds of word trips alone. Glad I didn't take the trip yet because I have hard time walking!
I've lived in Arizona for decades and never ever let my gas tank go below half full. So glad the young lady was rescued from what can be hell's heat depending on time of year.
I guess she could've avoided all that hustle if she would've walked on the second day to look for signal.
It's generally a better idea to stay with shelter, food and water in a situation like this. She assumed help may be on the way and leaving supplies behind isn't what you want to do (also spotting her car and a help sign is easier than just a single person).
It's daunting to set out into nothingness to maaaaybe get help. You can't carry that much water with you.
Catherineavelar YT Hi beautiful.
Also the desert is incredibly hot, so being exposed for hours while walking 11 miles could cause her to feint or get severely dehydrated.
Catherineavelar YT Its easy to advice but at that point to think and execute wisely is tough
Better Call Saul oh lol😂
You put yourself in danger just to save a few bucks on gas? mmmm
LosTheGhost 21404 she’s a college student you know how they are on money
@Los - But that point just....isn’t.
How does that save her a few bucks on gas? She’s still gonna need at least another full tank to get home.
That’s why many people are saying she staged it for attention - Fugazi. But I don’t wanna pin that on the girl.
I give her credit for being that stupid.
I wouldn't even trust a car full of gas alone in the desert. What if you get a flat, or hit a rock or something.
she didn't even save any money, she would've needed to refuel the car at some point in time anyways. this is not her last ride, you know?
I would never drive alone in a remote area, but you did all the right stuff you had water and snacks thank god you new what to do and thank god your safe and you you kept it together.
First of all I'm so glad that you are okay I'm so sorry you and your family had to endure that. Young lady let me tell you what a brave and resourceful lady that you are. I'm so glad you're okay. I hope you know God was watching over you and he got you back home safe and sound please in the future always feel your car up. Thank you for sharing your story
"It is important for drivers to keep in mind that GPS Devices are to be used as navigational aid only it is the responsibility of drivers to exercise common sense." Google is saying y'all dumb....😂😂😂
But you have to actually hAVe SOME
I did a road trip through the desert during the summer and since I'm so paranoid, I had two cases of water, some MRE's, a satellite phone, a car shade that was silver and very reflective. I also stopped at just about every gas station and topped off. Yeah it's paranoid to pack like this but I wasn't taking any chances.
That's not called paranoid, it's called being prepared
That is not paranoid, that is smart!!
You were being smart and prepared, this girl is stupid and shouldn't be on a news network. Spoiled and privilege, for being stupid.
Right. You were prepared. What I don’t understand is why she never walked back down the road? She was planning to do Havasupai Falls , which is a 10-mile hike from camp, at least. So, she should’ve had enough water, food, & gear to do that hike round-trip, which is at least 20 miles, plus any time you spend at the Falls.
what id do when i get old enough to go out on my own
So happy you were saved ♥️🙏
8:15 I'm in tears crying alongside her. Omg I am so happy she's ok. This felt like a whole movie and it must have been a nightmare for her. MORAL OF THE STORY, FILL UP YOUR TANK!

That’s one thing that I don’t get. I would have also brought several gas cans filled with gas, plenty of food, or simply juts turned around.
There is no better school than life!
It makes us humble and teaches us lots a values!
yep, it also cripples us, traumatizes us and slowly kills us each and everyday. such is life I guess.
Or you mess up big time drive into the desert without gas, maps, or an inkling of common sense and die from stagering stupidity. In that case it's less of a humbling lesson and more of nature saying, "Organisms like her help to keep the food chain moving, primarily by acting as carrion".
