[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how you get lost and can't get found on the Appalachian trail. It's not that wide. If you walked in a straight line for days, you'd have to hit something. Right?[/quote] The Appalachian trail runs into great stretches of wilderness. Once you're off the trail, you can die in a few days. Also, hypothermia is an important risk when hiking, and impairs judgement to the point where one can make irrational and fatal decisions (such as getting off the trail, stripping off your clothes, plunging into a lake). And you can't walk straight. There is dense undergrowth, brush, and hilly terrain. You think you're walking straight, but you aren't. You haven't truly hiked before, have you? [/quote]
