So .. if he could receive a call ... couldn't he make a call to someone he knows?
He was probably afraid to call for help due to the insane prices the search and rescue folks charge. Might have wanted to wait another day or two to be sure he was really lost before calling for help.
Is this a joke or is this actually a thing in the US?
It’s a U.S. thing! Yay! You can buy insurance for it if you do a lot of backpacking but that’s rare. I believe it’s in the five figures for a rescue. But apparently occasionally it can be free if you’re lucky enough to get rescued by the one agency whose name I forget.
MIB?
Unfortunately they only come if you need to be rescued from aliens.
