11 days... it’s a sad story, and I hope it’s not because she was accosted or worse by someone’s hand. Women should be able to safely go on solo trips if they want like guys can and not have to worry about additional issues besides the natural hazards one would face alone. But sadly, there are a lot of creeps out there.

Good idea, unless they had an iPhone. Carrying a spare power charge pack on a drone may fall into the hazmat prohibition rules as you cant carry spare lithium batteries unless they are part of the drone’s power system.

They have some that are AA batteries too. But get lost in Cali and you're a dead man due to all the regulations preventing a normal person from finding you.

Woah, they found her alive after two weeks! Warm climate, plenty of water and knowing about the wild fruit and plants to eat saved her. But yet, some people just don't have good common sense or one of direction when it comes to the wilderness.

A Maui yoga instructor who vanished weeks ago after a hike has been found

More than two weeks ago, Amanda Eller hiked into a forest in Hawaii and disappeared. Rescuers' hard work finally paid off when they looked down from a helicopter and saw Eller between two waterfalls, walking barefoot through a ravine, waving her arms.
