Well, you'll need water, which generally finds itself at lower ground ....
Are folks not taught stuff about lighting smokey fires to attract attention, or would there have been local factors that prevented it in this case?
- curtis 10y agoShe was set up near a stream. And it sounds like maybe she tried to start a fire but was unable to.
- xofer 10y agoOne article[1] at least suggests that she wasn't able to start a fire. She had also tried to make fires using the matches and lighters she kept in her backpack. There was a stream near her camp, but it's unclear whether she was able to find any food.
