He wasn’t in big basin, he was in the area south of Big Basin way that is also bordered by Jamison Creek/Empire Grade/Alba/9. There is nothing out there. Dude was hiking on unofficial trails, probably old game paths.
Either way - even if one was in Big Basin, it’s not the same as it was pre-fire. Only a few trails are open and the number of visitors is a tiny fraction of what it once was.

Not to mention the parks are pretty populated around here. Not sure how you could be in big basin for 10 days and not have anyone walk past you.
