How bad are the spam calls when you’re lost in the wilderness with no help, your phone rings, and you won’t answer it because you don’t recognize the number? You are literally in a life and death situation. You could be hiding up a tree with a bear waiting to eat you below when your phone rings with a possible connection to another human being to send help………….. and you blow it off because you don’t want to hear more about car warranties.
That’s kind of what happened with a hiker in Colorado last week. He went out, lost the trail he was supposed to be on. The team that was overseeing his hiking trip couldn’t find him. When he didn’t show back up at camp when he was supposed to, they even sent out a search party that looked until 3 in the morning. Then the guy showed up at camp later that morning. While they were searching, they tried to call him to make sure he was okay, but he didn’t answer because he didn’t recognize the number. They tried calling and texting multiple times. He didn’t answer once.
You would think that he could have at least read the texts. When you get a text, half the message shows up in the preview. How stubborn do you have to be?
Or maybe he got enchanted by magical woodland creatures and wasn’t able to answer.
