Sorry since I don't know about it I probably explained myself very bad. I did mean about the rescue part. Like the guy was still alive while they were searching so I wonder how important getting into the persons head is for "figure out what makes sense to that person given what they know" to finding people before they die especially. Like could they have found the guy if they looked at the maps people knew he had, and saw that the topography thing makes it look to someone who doesn't know the area that well that it might be the best way to get toward the road again if he got lost? That's what I'm trying to get at. The lessons these guys learn trying to piece together where someone ended up and how they died it seems really important to learn those lessons to find people before they die too.

I'm sorry I don't know any of the terms for search and rescue or anything so I have no idea how to make what I am saying make sense.
