It says he went for a day hike in the mountains near Boulder Creek, CA and the landmarks he's familiar with were damaged in a fire so everything looked different and he got lost.

Missing hiker found alive after spending 10 days in Northern California mountains | How he survived

A man is back home after being rescued in California's Santa Cruz Mountains. He went for a hike, but says he got lost.

But I looked at Boulder Creek, CA on Google maps and it looks like whichever mountains he chose, if he walked about 4-8 miles in any direction, he would've found civilization. How the fuck was he lost for 10 days?
 
His bread crumb trail got eaten?

Maybe. he hit a time warp like flight of the navigator

He was probably having an affair and just didn’t want to be found right away.
 
If he could get to high ground he should've been able to see the ocean, and every inch of the coast in CA is full of people

Yup in the morning and the evening you can tell by the sun. In the middle of the day it's harder because the sun is directly above, so that's when you use things like moss growing on the north side of trees, or just rest in the middle of the day. Look for food/water but don't worry about traveling until you can tell the direction again.

It's a pseudo myth, rooted in truth. Moss will be predominantly on the north in northern hemisphere and south in southern. A dense canopy will allow moss to grow on any side of the tree.

That's what I was saying. You know the sun sets over the Pacific Ocean, just go in that direction and you'll run into some very populated beaches <Fedor23>
Now if he started going North West that could be a problem.

Having said that, I got lost once on a solo hike at a park at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains but I saw some houses on top of a hill so I knew worst case scenario I could hop the fence of the park and head up to the road. But I ran into other hikers and they told me how to get out.
 
I knew a guy who got lost in the woods for like 8 hours and almost died lmao. He was like an hour from town.

The newspaper said he'd been drinking but actually he had popped a bunch of ecstacy and gone for a walk and fell down a gully.
