At some point you end up with legal action being taken with support groups here - again not something I want unless absolutely necessary for the reasons given. I am actually not alluding to the people on this site as being unsupportive, they have been - its just no matter who I talk to whether here or elsewhere nobody can give me the answers I need. It makes a person feel they are stuck in a situation merely bc they are too stupid to figure out the solution and have nothing to give them "hints" ... Like if you were lost in the wilderness with no food or water or shelter - and the only time you saw ppl was the occasional plane or helicopter that would fly by. So you knew you were being searched for - but everytime you waved your arms, nobody saw bc the foliage was too thick. Yet - you had to choose to stay where the foliage was thin n wait on the occasional plane or helicopter that came maybe once every few days with no food or water or shelter from the elements, or stay where the foliage was thick n the river was so you at least had some food n water n some protection from the elements from the canopy of leaves above you. So - you were stuck. The simple answer is to go to the higher ground with less foliage. But - how long will you be without food n water? Will you survive that? Will the elements wear you down too much so its not possible to get back for the food n water if you find yourself without too long? Will you end up missing your chance anyway bc you went back for food and water? So do you stay in the area you know you can survive albeit with great challenge n little to no hope of being rescued - or go to one there is no way to survive but you have a much greater chance of being rescued? If you knew when to expect the next rescue flight, you would know what to do - but being you don't, you don't know.

Me - I would stick to where I can survive...and just suck up the disappointment everytime the rescuers did not see me.

That's the best I can relate this situation. I know the simple answer. What I don't know - is the "right" answer. I hope that makes sense.
