City boy

By Where? - 23/08/2023 08:00 - Canada - Calgary

Today, I went on a hike with friends, but as I'm the worst outdoorsperson because I rarely venture outside of the city, I ended up getting lost in some woods after straying from our group. I ended up having to call 911 to be rescued. My friends will absolutely not let me live this ordeal down. FML

I mean, this is not a great situation for you - getting lost in the woods sucks, for sure. But, like, if you know you're not that great at this sort of thing, 1. Why would you go along in the first place, unless it was expressly clear that this would be a beginner/amateur-friendly hike? And 2. Why would you let yourself stray from the group at all? If it was a case of them ditching you because you couldn't keep up, well, they suck. But in this sort of scenario, I can't imagine doing anything short of keeping at least one of them within eyesight if not arm's-length at all times to prevent just such a situation.

You could call 911, but you couldn't bring up a map and a compass? lol, YDI

How do you expect someone who never walks outdoors to know how to read a map and use a compass? Also, some people tell you they are going on a little easy hike and the next thing you know, they are climbing the Kilimandjaro at the speed of a mountain goat.
