Four miles is a long way in the jungle, but I can imagine how it happened
1. Air travel (and to another country) so no knife, limited psk
2. Comfortable enough in the bush to not pay attention
3. Out for a walk at a resort - what could happen?

I'd say he was not the typical lost tourist, but probably someone who "knew better". I would have a hard time admitting I was lost or not in control of the situation.

In spite of my uid, I've never been "lost" only turned around for a few hours. I nearly always have a sense of direction, so if I ever lost that I'd probably be screwed.

I can see how my own arrogance and the fact that I've always gotten myself out in the past could get me really lost some day. But that's why I read this board! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
