We took a stranger’s advice and decided to hike up Blood Mountain, Georgia. The name should have been our first clue. We started too late, and darkness and rain overtook us on the way down. We lost the trail in pitch blackness, stumbled around and finally found some one else going down the mountain, and they had a light. We realized that no one knew where we were or what we were doing. We left our cell phones in the car, along with our water and identification. Only worth doing from the vantage that you learn from your mistakes. Hope we won’t be that dumb again. 4 years ago
yes I’ve done it…however, it was not on purpose. I eventually found my way out of the forest, only to find that my family had already called a search and rescue team! I’ll never live this one down. :) 5 years ago
I know that this goal sounds rather strange…but when I was 14 years old I took a survival course and I stayed for four days and three nights by myself in the woods; however I was supervised to a degree. In my last morning I woke up before the sun and watched it rise over the lake, I saw the mist on the surface of the water slowly wither due to the heat of the sun and loons swimming freely. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
I even have a tattoo of the sun for that reason. But now I want to see if I can survive alone for a while, not too long but a few days in the summer would be great. 6 years ago
