[QUOTE="dnchevyman, post: 1014314, member: 65906"] Even though its common sense (i think) i figured id tell everyone a pretty good story about going out alone... Sunday, at 3 oclock, i got a call, a co-workers banshee got sand in the carb and wouldnt run, needed someone to come town his quad back to his truck, which was about 5 miles away, too long to push. I got out there an hour later with some water for him since he doesnt have a camel pack or water bottles with him here in the desert of nevada :bang: . tow his quad back to his pickup and send him on his way. go home and ended up falling asleep around 10 oclock. now heres the Good story...... I wake up at 1:15 A.M., a buddy is calling, here is the following conversation, his name is doug.... me- hello? doug- dont hangup me-ok, whats wrong? doug-come get me im 40 miles out in the desert in my pre- runner, it broke down me- WHAT??!!! ITS 1:15 IN THE MORNING!! doug-ive been walking since 4:30 p.m. i this is the first time i got cell phone reception. ends up, he was out in his ford pickup pre-runner ALONE :bang: , and got 40 miles out in the desert when the motor just died, we are both mechanics, couldn't figure out what happened, something electrical. He had no cell phone reception so he started walking towards town. he ended up walking almost 17 miles before he got reception and called me, i was able to find him becuase he happened to be on a power line road i knew.he walked from 4:30 to 1:15, THATS ALMOST 9 HOURS!!! he had no food, no water, no emergency medical kit :bang: . it gets down to about 40 degrees at night here also. He was severely dehydrated and pretty hungry, not having eaten for 10 or 11 hours. He also could not walk, his legs had all but given up on him from walking so long and the dehydration. his dad was with him in the truck and we got back there to find him sleeping in the truck using the floor mats for a blanket. So use this as a lesson, dont go out alone, even if you are within walking distance of people, if you break your leg or hips, you wont be able to walk to them, and dont always count on your cell phone. sorry for being so long, but had to tell the whole story.
