Middle TN near Monteagle, and Cumberland State Park. Great two mile hike. Some up, some down, rocks and roots, covered in autumn leaves. Three small falls, limestone rock walls, and cave niches.
I get that for injuries but is a person really lost if the sign tells you where you are? Maybe it's a man thing but 911 is the last number I'm calling if I'm really lost, all less embarrassing numbers would be tried first.
Most places I go where I could get lost you can’t get cell service to dial 911, it’s either a SPOT locator beacon or you make a sheeitload of noise in the “hope” someone can hear you. I put hope in quotation marks cause floating marsh and the vast amount of standing dead trees seem to absorb sounds really well.
I've only found a few small areas that that could get enough signal to call but no data, most of that in the Ozarks. Most times I could function on text long after the other services were gone.
I can definitely see that aspect. Us off trail types go into stuff where we can’t find our arse with both hands lol
