How is it possible that in 12 years of mandatory public education our schools do not teach students the basics of survival, including map & compass skills, and how to survive in the vast wilderness we live in? School boards are often comprised of businessmen, who want compliant, obedient, dependent workers, not critical thinkers capable of independent thought and action.  I hope this woman doesn't become the latest victim of our "school" system. A large drum needs to be set up at the point she entered the forest to guide her back, regularly booming, as bass sounds travel the farthest. Volunteers could take turns beating it. This will also tend to scare off any predators in the area.
