Unclear if 'family' means wife and kids, or mom / dad / siblings. Based on Father's Day being the reason they realized he was missing, I'm guessing the latter.
If he was a 34 yo single dude on his own, it would be totally normal to go a week without having talked to his parents or siblings. The type of guy who goes on multiple-day backpacking trips regularly probably isn't a 'wife and kids' type of guy.

Seriously. Plus the area he was in is basically boxed in by highways that at any given time are no more than 25 miles away.

That seem to be less a case of getting particularly lost and more of a case of heat stroke.
Le Nguyen set out Sunday morning with about 100 other hikers for a 5K fundraiser, according to police. [...]
Around 8 a.m., the group stopped halfway up the mountain, but other hikers said she continued up the trail alone to finish the hike. She even contacted members of the group at 9:30 a.m. to tell them that she made it to the end of the trail.
About 10 a.m., Le Nguyen made a distress call to her sister, saying she was "extremely hot and needed water," Meyer said. That was the last anyone heard from her.
It went from her being OK to a severe distress in half an hour.

Started dry heaving and had to soak my buff in water put it on my face and lay in the shade for hours before I felt normal.

I was a Park Ranger in an "Urban" park. A group of men came up and gave me a phone that was their wives who were lost on a hike. The wooded area they were lost in was less than half a square mile, I told them to pick a direction and walk because all 4 sides had a road. The entire wooded area was also lousy with trails and dozens and dozens of people actively on the trails.
Didn't think much of it. 4 hours later I found them in a field still very lost. And probably 30mins from heat stroke. I took "I'm lost calls" a lot more seriously after that.

It sounds easy, but it's actually very difficult to walk in a straight line through a forest without a compass or something to guide you. Humans will naturally end up walking in a circle (I can't remember why, but it's a known phenomenon).
There are obviously ways to combat this, but I wouldn't expect this man would have known then if he didn't consider himself lost until 4 days into a 3 hour hike.

u/BetaSandwich 3d ago
Yep, it's extremely hard, especially on hummocky and densely vegetated terrain. I worked in forestry for a while and did lots of navigation in tough areas.
I'd argue that it is due to slight bias in our decisions. E.g. when faced with going left or right of a tree, there is a slight bias to go left. When checking out the surroundings and getting a bearing, we favor looking over one of the shoulders more. Add this up a thousand times and your bias takes you very far off track. Even when I try to account for it, I still find myself off track. Even with a compass and solid skills, a minor deviation in your bearing can screw you over after just a couple kms. Lots of tricks to adjust or compensate for, as you likely know.

Tip for anyone needing to walk straight in the woods:
Alternate which side of the tree you go around each time. Go around the left side of tree one then the right side of tree two. Rinse and repeat. This won’t ensure your path is 100% straight but it helps stop you from walking in circles.
→ More replies (2)25
u/DirkDirkinson 3d ago
Ya, I was thinking about it more and I think the general cause is that people will naturally favor one direction, left or right. If you keep always going right around each tree you come to, it will add up over time, and you will start straying from a straight line.

This whole story is super bizarre. I live in the Bay Area, and the Santa Cruz mountains aren't exactly a big undeveloped wilderness, they're more akin to a bunch of county / state parks and you're never very far from the road. In his case, he was in an area that was 5 miles by one mile - he could have just walked in a straight line for any direction for roughly 2 hours and found his way out. He claims he was disoriented by the "burn" but I don't necessarily buy it - the burn was also like two years ago. There are some other things that don't add up as well.
EDIT: Also redditors claim he's legally blind but I have yet to see a news article that mentions this yet.

For 10 days though? At some point you can use basic orientation guides (the sun), or just follow a stream or general downhill path.
And even if it is cloudy, it's more that the path one takes it somewhat chaotically squiggly, it's not a perfect circle. Given a small enough bounding area (e.g. roads), it will eventually hit the boundaries.
There was a study where they tested this on different subjects. The ones who did it on a sunny day went pretty much perfectly straight (yellow and red lines). Those who did it on cloudy days or at night (blue lines) did squiggle a lot, but still, there were larger patterns and variability that were on the scale of at least a couple of kilometers (and this experiment was only a few hours).
The eyesight issues or some other disability are the only thing that really explains it.

I agree with everything you are saying but you are ignoring some key aspects
Some people are really dumb and wouldn't know how to use landmarks to navigate. This is something that was actively taught to me in school so I don't think it's fair to assume this is a skill people naturally have
People get dumber when they get scared and they thought of being lost in the woods can be pretty scary
Some peoples sense of direction, specifically to walking straight, can be way off. I've had mates who got lost in a similar situation and when we found them, they had just been doing laps of the same basin for hours and didn't notice.
Most people get told that when they get lost, they're better off finding shelter nearby to their last known location and staying put
Although at the age of 30, I'd expect there to be at least some survival skills. Or at least the basic thought of "sun rises here, that means people are in that direction". So yeah I think old mate is dumb as fuck, getting a pass on the dumb af if he does turn out to have a disability that affects his navigation.

I was lost in the wilderness in the Adirondacks for 3 hours before I found a trail and it seemed like 3 years. Absolutely terrifying to be lost in the woods. I can’t even imagine 10 days.

10 days and he looks like THAT? Who the fk goes in a hike without at least a compass.

So my wife and I have a house where he's from. Yeah it's wilderness.....but it's not lost for 10 days wilderness.

You ever get that little feeling something isn't right about a story? This is one of those stories for me. Supposedly he was near a water source and drinking a gallon of water a day, but he never cleaned himself?

And he was sleeping on wet leaves.
Why would you pick the wettest thing to sleep on?

His hair certainly looks at least ten days lost, but his mustache and beard look impeccably trimmed and groomed. WTF.

Get him back to work! We need him behind a computer screen for 8 hours a day.
