I noticed the term "newly opened trail" first. The best of established and mapped routes are still subject to the whims of nature's alterations. Taking a periodic bearing and looking back to visualise landmarks would have returned him to his tent. The food ! crackers, tootsie rolls and tuna makes my meager supplies seem bountifull. I did take a second look at my can of sardines. They are included as potential fishbait and reserve food. I think Ill find smallerbait and add something less salty.
