I live out west.  It isn&#x27;t that hard to start going in a direction and not see anyone for days.<p>My brother volunteers for Search and Rescue (Search and Recover most of the time).  If someone dies in the desert, because of the sage brush and other grasses, you can easily walk right past a body and not know it (assuming there is no smell)
