Doctors expensive
Regardless if you pay tax you are entitled to free medical care under the Federal government Medicare from public hospitals I think it's the same with the UK -

"30 Days Lost in the Wilderness: A Runner's Unimaginable Fight for Survival"
Satelite messenger radios is available at decent prices. One guy I met a few times riding together, got lost in the jungle and barely made it out of there alive after 12 hours with heat stroke. Lucky some locals passed by at the right time and managed to bring him to the hospital https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/camping-and-hiking/best-personal-locator-beacon -

A canyon can be a death trap, but follow the river down streams will finely lead you to people or cabins- 1

"30 Days Lost in the Wilderness: A Runner's Unimaginable Fight for Survival"
The old airman in me cynically says, move with the times and listen to what other people say. They are probably smarter than you. After all they didn't get lost. He did. Maps get wet and disintegrate in the rain, and unless you can read an OS map and us a compass properly, the map is not that much use. Paper maps are rarely updated and as there had been a lot of wildfires in the area, paper maps will not show that. In addition, a GPS has a separate power source and will not deplete your phone battery. The GPS should tell you where you are, how far you have travelled, and if you plot the waypoints and save them, you will be able to go forwards or back to a known point and find your way back to the start point. Also if you stay where you are, it is a lot easier for a rescue team to find you. In addition if you tell someone who is not going with you, your route, it will also be easier for a rescue team to find you, instead of wandering around with no clue where you are or where you are going. Common sense seems to be lacking in him.
