#Texas #Hiker #Missing
Great
that’s a record. this is the first time ever that someone hasn’t been found dead or not found at all in a national park.
Good news is always nice.
Another missing 411 case averted thankfully
I wrongly assumed a guy abducted her. Sometimes i like when im wrong. Great news.
And why would you think otherwise. We’ve seen these stories before where woman go out hiking alone. Why alone I’ll never understand.
she WAS abducted though, just wait for the interviews to get out
Good thing it wasn’t summer.
Another hiker going off ill-prepared and getting lost. No personal locator beacon, no warm clothes. What’s wrong with these stupid people? And costing tax payer resources to find her. Glad she is ok though.
Yeah, right. Obviously something shady with this story. She was probably abducted by those so called rescuers.
Praise the lord!
Yay 🥳 great news
Good thing grizzly bears are still hibernating
😳 NO grizzly bears in TX…
You must not be American.
@ella fields But there are black bears in Big Bend.
Bears probably would want someone with a bit more meat.
I will never understand why women go out hiking alone. Why do you woman put yourselves in that situation.
Anxiety.
Why do men go walking anywhere alone !? Are they immune to accidents, crimes and death!?!?
A dead man was just found with his living dog after missing for weeks you mindless potato
Women are pioneers and love to travel and explore. Women settled the West.
A lot has to do with ignorance of mother nature.
Guess what race it is ?!?!?!
Indy 500? Grand Prix of Monaco? Do tell.
Definitely a race against time to find her alive.
What does the reporter expect? That she will be totally unable to talk after 10 days in the wilderness?
Just imagine the crazy things she saw out there. Who knows what goes on in national parks.
@P. H. tell that to bigfoot
@LayDee Stroh No don’t be silly. Be more realistic like a grizzly eating a deer alive or a secret government facility. Stuff like that you know.
@P. H. Relax kid I live literally close to Yosemite national park. I’ve been to numerous national parks before since I’m a hiker. In case you haven’t realized national parks are huge. There’s a reason why people get lost in them. I never said anything about a big foot. I’m just implying how vast and secluded the wilderness can be. Grow up.
All the things she saw…like Diamondbacks…Gila Monsters…Scorpions…Tarantulas…
fun stuff 😂
@Gypso1075 Okay. That is an interpretation I didn’t realize that you were going for. In comments sections like this one when people talk about “crazy things” and “who knows what goes on in national parks” I’ve found that this is often a reference to paranormal events or aliens did it (as seen in a couple of the comments above). My comment about Bigfoot was directed at @laydeestroh. And yes – I’ve been hiking in Yosemite many times and plenty of other national parks. You’re right. They’re huge and people can get lost in them fairly easily.
Right on! Glad she’s alive and well. God is good🙏
Oh…God was good to her, but he wasn’t good to all the kids who were killed in schools…makes perfect sense…smfh
thats amazing shes been found! i’m also amazed there is public land in texas
The reporter looks like the missing hiker. 😂
Positive news!!
I dont think they went missing i dont think they wanted to be found
If God wanted us to hike he’d make us more like goats. You can’t fix stupid like that famous actor who went hiking right before a terrible snow storm. They found his body 8 months later. You’ll find my body in my back yard
The best news of the day!!!!! Happiness for her and her family and friend’s!!! ❤️❤️❤️.. 👏👏👏… 😌😌😌.. 👍👍👍….
I’m in Texas & I didn’t know we had hills 😮
Yea.. Texas is pretty small. Youd think that youd know every nooks and crannies in this small, small state..
Seriously?
She wasn’t eating by a Chupacabra, cut down by a desert werewolf or snatched by a Sasquatch. So I guess that leaves Alien Abduction!! 😂
Why would she go hike by herself, i wouldnt go by myself ever, u might never come back.
She was with bigfoot
Stay in the kitchen girl. Nature is not for you.
So grateful to the rescuers. They really do save so many lives (mine included).
I cannot tell you the amount of people I see going for a “day hike” in the wilderness with just a water bottle and little in the way of emergency supplies. It blows my mind. Even when I go on day hikes I take my emergency pack. Which also includes my emergency satellite beacon. Turn that bad boy on and your exact gps location is beamed up world wide to emergency services saying “Come get me!” Weighs less than a pound. I don’t understand how anyone goes into the woods or on the ocean without one.
@Matt We’re not going to agree on this. If a person feels the need to push the button, it is irresponsible to discourage them from using it.
@Redwood4 the reason for it should be discouraging enough.
@Redwood4 people pick one up at bass pro and press it at sunset.
@Redwood4 How much SAR training have you had? How many times have you gotten out of bed to someone yelling help ten feet off trail?
@Matt I haven’t had SAR training. If you are more concerned about being woken up by someone who perceives themselves to be in trouble, you have some serious issues dude. I’ve spent much time in the raw forest solo and I use common sense in entering prepared. I wish more people would – but I would never discourage someone from asking for help.
Great Job to the rescuers! Glad she is ok
whatta miracle 🙏🏼 good on her for those survival skills & good on the rescue team for finding her 🙏🏼
🇵🇸
Do taxpayers get the bill for all of these lost hiker and mountain climber rescues?
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you, rescuers
Halle Jackson was kind of cute at first, but she is the most annoying reporter
You can’t trust anything, she says
Always go hiking with a slower friend. In case you run into a bear, you only need to outrun your friend, not the bear.
So classic, lol
Elon musk … how much greenhouse gas is caused by all the rockects and gas driven vehicles to supply parts and fuel for your paid attempts of nothing. Fuel refinment and titanium parts manufacture is hot. How much fuel for all the interviewing nobody’s.?.And elon musc has to fly everywhere to make all this big nothing happen ? FaceTime? Huh. You know america could use some of them icbm missles from the cold war, I bet I could add a casule at the top and some boosters … we have hundres of thousands of these cold war relics. More satalites to link the news about polticians , about there gonna be more war, presidential verbage of lack of respect, huge nobodies cheering there poll numbers are up. Listen if everyone should vote then everyone should run for office!
I have music to this sorry gout the little oof tangent.. i belive youwrite it. N9t rewriteit for 2 hours,its just a comment
Thank God she is ok.
This is the news I only want to hear
How did she survive so long w/out water?
Google it 🤔
Much better outcome than Julian Sands on Mt. Baldy.
🎉❤
Wow!
YAY!!!! Some GOOD news, for a change!!!! Thank you to the entire team of rescue searchers for not giving up. Sweetheart, before your next journey in the great outdoors, please consider some community college courses in backpacking, and survival skills.
PERSONAL LOCATOR BEACON, WATER, PROVISIONS…..(call it the ‘American Express’) for the great outdoors!
👍
Theyre gonna charge her for drinking that rain water ……
Amazing that people don’t know how to use a Compass and a Trail Map. smfh. Not a lot of trees in the Big Bend to block your view either. Glad she survived, but hope she learned some valuable lessons.
The new story reports conflicting information. They said she was found a quarter mile off the trail and then it was stated they found her on the trail. I suspect the woman bimbo reporting on the news just didn’t State the right thing and that the fact is they found her a quarter mile off the trail. This would explain that the hiker most likely got disoriented and lost her way and couldn’t find the trail again, then lost her energy/hypothermia and ability to navigate back due to her insufficient amount of food/water and poor weather.
She dishonor family and was banished I heard.
I’m so glad she was found alive. That being said, she was foolish for going alone and completely unprepared.
Wonder if she’s going hiking again
Grow up, stop hiking alone. It should be a law !!!! She should be charged.
Another hiker who did not stay on a trial ? 😂
Nice to see some good news for a change.
Asian woman skin look super soft. Like one great PBJ sandwiches i used to make.
That’s one lucky woman 🙏
Thankfully she was there in November.
Many hikers go missing and then expensive rescue operations begin, along with the distress to family and friends. I would like to see hikers take responsibility and carry a personal GPS tracker when hiking. For under $100 hikers could eliminate all that. Thankfully, she was found alive, but that isn’t always the case.
How STUPID is it for a female to hike ALONE? Does she never read the news??
Poor woman. I couldnt imagine how hungry she would be after little to no food for over a week
