[@garyclarke9685]

You know what fascinates about shows like this other than the resilience & mental strength of people but also how so many of these people when lost they don't think about looking up at the sun for directions. There are several ways to tell which direction is north south East West when you do not have a compass but I would have thought looking up at the sun was a no brainer. Everyone knows the sun rises up in the east & sets in the west. Of course the surest way never to be lost is to have a compass really that easy & one couldn't possibly get lost.

[@SilvaMorasten]

exactly, I do the same when hiking, and especially in new places I always figure out where are all four directions, where is the sun, depending on the time of the year, and I have this in my mind all hiking cause it is easier to orient myself. But I know people who just cannot incorporate these "variables" when orienting through the space, I cannot get it, but they cannot get it.

[@coriswrld2122]

i didn't expect him to be there for almost a month when i started this episode ! that's insane

[@Marksparks123]

Watched this episode years ago while in Cozumel. I even went to San Gervasio ruins here in 2022 to see where he got lost. Now back to Cozumel and watching this again. It’s good that it’s back on KZbin. It had been very difficult to find earlier. Cozumel does not have a thousand square kilometers of jungle, that patch of jungle north of the highway that divides the island is not that big but one can get lost like that if walking in circles. And there’s an international airport to the West of where he was with dozens of daily flights that he should have been able to hear taking off. Also there are no mountains on the island like they showed. Other than that it is a great reenactment with great cast!

[@sheilaboston7051]

I just looked up the size - the whole island has a total area of 477.961 km2 - much of the interior being dense jungle and swampy lagoons. Maybe Ken's experience will get added to the list of "unforgettable things to do" while there!

[@mommy2libras]

That's what I was thinking- I've been to Cozumel several times and it's just not that big- only 10 miles across or so, and 30 miles long. If he were able to walk straight east or west, he'd have hit beach within a day. And the west side is basically wall to wall resorts and private beaches. Just goes to show how little "wilderness" it takes to actually get lost. And there's roads everywhere used by locals who lives all over the island. I think people have the idea that this is like the Amazon or something but it really, really isn't. A bit of calm thinking and planning, even just sitting still for a day and finding a spot where you could check the sun's direction, would have gotten him out fairly quickly. He had to be going in literal circles the entire time.

[@samuelkundael3503]

He was lost for more than 2 weeks 😂. That's like getting lost in an elevator for 10 hours and claiming to be sane.

Honestly, Cathy is a really great friend to spend thousands of dollars on trying to find her idiodict friend who was lost in an endless massive jungle. I hope he realizes that he is really lucky to have a friend like her, she stayed for 20 days looking for him while he was crawling through the jungle. In my opinion she's wife material, she must really care for him! Also, I hope Ken makes better decisions going forward.

Also maybe she's not in a hurry to be back in the States and has enough money to stay longer, book another plane anytime to make sure he's safe, but he's probably just thinking worst case scenario that's all

If dude sat in one spot and kept a fire going day and night, 24/7. He would of been found on day one of the search. As soon as you hear a helicopter or plane, throw bundles of green leaves on your hot fire which will create a lot of smoke and get you spotted. There is NO other way.

So, on the last day, we decided to go with him and another instructor to the Mayan ruins. Now, we knew they weren’t guides for the ruins, but because they didn’t employ one, we assumed they had at least the BASIC know-how of the area. It was super hot, we were getting eaten alive by bugs, and before long, the other instructor had ditched, and my partner and I told Ken we were just too tired and hot to continue. We figured he would gladly turn back with us, because again….we’re his customers. But no. He wanted to keep going. He’d ‘be right back’. Y’ALL, THIS GUY GOT LOST IN THE JUNGLE FOR ALMOST A MONTH!!!!!! Not only did we not see the ruins or get a refund, we felt weirdly obligated to stay and join the volunteer search party. Super awkward. Anyway, the diving was still cool. Two out of ten stars.”

[@JohnSmith-zw6tr]

Unless you train for survival skills; under severe stress and fear. Many of the most basic skills you would consider common sense is overlooked and/or forgotten. It’s hard to imagine unless you are truly in fear for your life. Then, everything changes. Judgement, memory, fine motor skills, decision making, confusion. Everything gets turned upside down. It’s easy to say what you would do, from the comfort of your home. But, in that environment; in legitimate fear of death (real or imagined), all those plans, ideas and techniques go right out the window. Unless you train for the skills you would need in a given situation; you won’t react the way you think you will.

Cozumel is approximately 30 miles long and 10 miles wide. A normal walking pace is 3 miles per hour.

So this dude was lost for 19 days in the jungle of an island that's only like 10 miles wide at its widest point? He already had a basic idea of where he was, so he could have walked in any direction but south and ended up on the beach after going for a few miles. Plus, the show made it seem like Cozumel is a dense rainforest with a canopy like the Amazon, when it is really just a jungle where you can see the sun wherever you are. I don't get how someone can be lost that long in what is essentially the woods on a small island. You would run into something sooner or later. It's just a little island, not a vast wilderness.

Considering this island is 30 moles long and 10 miles wide I don't understand how my man spent 20 days out there unless he was walking in circles. I've been to this island 3 times scuba diving and I would say only roughly 70% of the island is actually jungle.

[@ingainge3146]

I think his mind shuted off

[@krisyel3963]

The San Gervasio Mayan Ruins archaeological site is just 7km away from Isla de la Pasión (The Beach) if you walk through the bushes. Moreover, the jungle surrounding the area extends only within a radius of 10km, not 100km as previously thought.

[@sheilaboston7051]

100km? The whole island is only 16kms wide and 46km long!

[@cwmerman]

"Nearly 1000 square kilometers of jungle"? Not quite... Cozumel is maybe 450 square kilometers, tops, and that includes every road, beach, house, etc. There's a international airport, two Cruise line docs, about 100 restaurants and 5000 other buildings at least. The fact that he couldn't find a path and simply follow it until he found a road makes me wonder who helps him tie his shoes...

And this is why I’ve only ever gone into rainforests and jungles with a local expert guide. Even then I go fully prepared: long sleeves and trousers, DEET, first aid kit etc.

I cannot imagine how you can make the mistake of moving out of range of someone’s voice when you can hear them. Truly bizarre. People need to learn to breathe. I’m not sure how I would act in the scenario but I hope I would take a deep breath slow down and know I’m safe as long as we can still hear each other

[@sheilaboston7051]

Yep. If I was Cathy, I would have sent the two guys back to fetch people, tell Ken to stay where he was and then the locals would have found him within a couple of hours. And no, I'm not saying that with hindsight, that's just logic!

[@fashonizta1839]

You are a FIGHTER!

[@judithcampbell1705]

That was wild!! I knew that I'll never get lost in the jungle because I hate bugs and will never put myself in that situation. But if I did, I would hope that I had a friend like Cathy who never gave up looking. And Ken, next time you try that, hire a guide!!! Think the money is worth it. If I got lost in that thick foliage I think I would have died. But I would do everything possible to survive. Thank you for this outstanding episode. I 💛 loved it. Please send me more.

[@RustedCroaker]

You can cross this island in about 4 hours in its widest part. Getting lost there for 20 days requires a special kind of topographical cretinism and a lot of effort.

[@avocado1182]

It must have been so scary🥺 with all those animals for 20 freaking days

[@troybrooks2066]

It’s Cozumel. There really aren’t that many dangerous animals. Pythons are really the only danger.

[@mommy2libras]

Cozumel doesn't really have many dangerous animals. There's crocodiles at the far northern and southern tip, in the mangroves, and coral snakes. The boas aren't even really dangerous unless they're large and angry. Those peccaries aren't like wild boar- they're much smaller and not aggressive. This is a small island, not the Amazon.

[@ChelsinghChouhan-o6q]

[@corazonjagape]

It seems all episodes about people who are lost don't bring a phone and compass which is very important 🤔 🙄

[@christiecobb4637]

And they are city people

[@harryparsons2750]

I don’t think you are going to get very good service in the middle of the jungle. Most likely zero service.

[@j-money1501]

People who brought their phone didn’t get lost, so no episodes for them

When you are in a jungle or unknown location any decision that involves separating and going your separate ways is not a good idea.
