In a recent video from the YouTube channel PNW Bigfoot Search, Tanner Hoskins, co-founder and Lead Investigator for the Pacific Northwest Bigfoot Search team, discusses the behavior of lost hikers and hunters in mountainous conditions. The video is filled with valuable information for anyone who enjoys spending time in the great outdoors, whether you're an avid hiker, hunter, or simply a nature enthusiast.
Tanner explains that hikers often become lost when they unintentionally stray from the trail, while hunters are more likely to become disoriented when tracking game. He also shares some interesting statistics about the behavior of lost individuals, such as the fact that 44% of hikers who become lost were located uphill from their last known position, and that 33% of lost hikers during dry mountainous conditions will continue traversing the landscape well after Nightfall or all night long.
One of the most important takeaways from the video is the advice to always leave a note or mark your trail when you venture off the beaten path. This simple action can greatly increase your chances of being found if you do become lost. Tanner also recommends investing in trail tape, which can be used to mark your trail and help you find your way back.
As a Bigfoot believer and a lover of the great outdoors, I found this video to be both informative and thought-provoking. It's a reminder that even the most experienced hikers and hunters can become lost, and that it's good to always take precautions to ensure your safety. I highly recommend checking out the video for yourself and learning more about the behavior of lost hikers and hunters in mountainous conditions. You never know when this information might come in handy!
