Bah. How bad can it be? I mean, you just use your smartphone and walk for an hour or so and you're in the nearest major population center. Duuh.

This is comedy gold... Hah haha

Thousands of square kilometres with nothing... No reception, no water and minimum 113'F or 45'C during the day 0 at night.

Or if you are in the wetlands, snakes crocs and mozzies...

You are proper f@%#ed if you are left in the middle of nowhere at the arse end of the Earth, with no experience, no transport and no equipment.


Then I hit my target. :-)

So... It's like being in Cleveland?


I've seen people get lost literally 200 feet off of a paved trail around a lake. Rangers had to find them on their cell phones with "Can you see me now...."


Meh. That ain't nothin.

You can walk from one side of Cleveland to the other and meet the people who live there. Same distance in Australia and fall over sturt's corpse as you die from dehydration, thirst, with a mouth full of flies.
