I'm glad she made it out okay. Going cross-country in the PNW bush seems to me like an easy way to disappear off the face of the earth. Luckily she hit a trail and followed it; otherwise the ending could have been very much different.

I agree about the comment re mental toughness. Not everyone would have the grit to do what she did. On the other hand, it takes a lot of mental toughness to stay put too, when your every instinct is to go find help. As I understand it, staying put usually has the best outcomes.
