There's a sad story about a hiker whose body was found a couple of years after going missing whilst walking the Appalachian trail. The hiker - a woman in her 60s had got lost and was found in a tent some way off the official walk. What makes it more poignant is that she kept a diary of what she was doing, and her last entry asked that when she was found to call her daughter and husband.
If we are learn anything about this, it's to always carry a notepad and paper. If I'm ever in that awful situation, I would write loads to get it off my chest. A bit like this blog really, except as I munch on a chelsea bun I have almost no chance of dying of starvation for the next few days at least.
