The very last search I went on, the victim kept hiking, in the dark, despite telling him over the phone to stay put till we got there.
oh, he had a phone? how did sar get the call? from him? concerned relative? why did he / she / relative / friend call?
injury? lost? unprepared for the dark?
more details might help me understand this.
people seem to forget that a walk in the woods is not the same as a walk around the backyard.
