Yeah, I camp by myself but I leave maps of where I'm going and leave my tracks on foil in my car, and I will tell a friend when I'm going and when I'll get back, and I know how to flag down SAR... I've also in the past used Olive Drab gear and set up tripwire, heh heh.
I don't see how you (or me) travelling alone and taking precautions (like carrying weapons we train in) is much different than my friend going on a blind date but leaving contact info. Well, there is a difference, in that I'm not sure me calling the cops is going to actually do much good, which is why I started this thread.Comment

Yeah, I know cops aren't responsible for your personal protection (Warren v. District of Columbia, Riss vs. City of New York, Balistreri v. Pacifica Police Department, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.) but at least getting people to leave contact info is a START to thinking about tactical mindset... For me, I took a lot of baby steps before I stopped doing the really stupid things (like hitchhiking and picking up hitchhikers and hanging out with dumb people)... I guess one can only hope it will lead to better choices for other people... Plus at least if something does happen there'll be a suspect... I get a very very tiny sense of comfort from knowing that the guy who killed my exboyfriend is in jail for a very long time as is the guy who kicked the shit out of my friend (who the docs say will have permanent brain damage)... tiny is better than none I guess.
So what would be a good alternative for a friend who's disappeared you're trying to track down (after calling the cops if you don't wan to sit around and do nothing...) I guess what I'd probably do is call all the trackers I know and retrace their steps... but not everyone knows good trackers...Comment

Well I had one friend who'd go hiking with blind date guys... I know, I know!! I told her!! And her phone was out of range too!! I feel like her mom sometimes...
Good trackers can find people quickly. In the city sometimes, too.Comment

I thought about this and I decided that anybody who says they don't hang out with strangers or near-strangers is probably lying.
Hasn't anyone ever moved to a new town? Or gotten coffee or drinks with coworkers they didn't know too well after starting a new job? Going to a new dojo and hanging out with people you only know sort of, getting some pizza after class? Gone to events at someone's house, like a UFC party at a friend of a friend's house? These types of things are so totally common that I can't think of anyone who DOESN'T do things like that except for this woman I know who has 30 cats and never leaves her house except for work. Oh wait, I'm lying. She petsits for other people she doesn't know that well--friends of friends...
Getting DRUNK around strangers or going to REMOTE LOCATIONS or other COUNTRIES with strangers is a whole different story...Comment

lol I love whenever J-Luck mentions his network of boys and how they would run some peoples shit (or something along those lines) if they ever messed with anyone they know.
And TreeLizard saying she knows Trackers, who knows a tracker, what is this the hunted.... maybe if you were in the army, or some sort of National Ranger thing or something... but ... I'll just get my tracker buddies..... Well I'll just phone up batman....
Haha I've been out camping in the Olive Drab and set up Trip Wire.... Where do all of you people live, like fricking Cambodia, do you have Guerilla Warfare going on around you that you need to be decked out in camo and set up traps. Jeez whenever I've been camping we've said.. maybe a bear might come, we should put the food in the tree.
TripWire what a joke.
And it may seem like I'm just coming in here to pick a fight, but I just think these things are so ridiculous.
Oh and BTW, quit badmouthing the cops, "all they do is sit in a donut shop"... you'd probably be dead already if there werent cops around. Oh wait none of the criminals would see you
oh and if they did as they were running to attack you they would trip and fall but that wouldnt be it, you'd rig up some explosives to the trip wire, and if they got through that you'd have a field of claymore mines, and your "Boyz" standing around to help you ... what a joke....
Oh and StabbyChick....
"In fact, I was one of those "stupid" girls who enjoyed traveling and camping alone"
Then you met BoarSpear or what? haha...
oh and Garland, you saved this thread, that is probably the funniest family guy thing there is.Comment

SG, you are too funny!! In my defense I live in the desert and keep my tent invisible b/c there are lots of cowboys here and I do set up trip wire (with soda cans) as a warning so I can sleep sound... lol... I lived in the desert in a tent for four months so you set up precautions. There are bears here, too, I've seen their tracks.
