RON, I worked for two summers as a wilderness ranger at altitudes above 10,000 ft. I made many solo winter overnight ski trips as a young adult into the high country of the Pecos Wilderness (13,000 ft.) You are really barking up the wrong tree. People where I live are avid outdoorsmen, and have quite strong feelings about slow-minded rural residents who think they live in an infinite land of empty space. Scumbria

I am not myself eager to follow your example, but I admire the discipline.....

A good woodsman never spends an unplanned night out. Lots of planned nights out, none unplanned. Put it this way: If you need (NEED, not have) a cell phone and GPS, you are over your head. If you can't intentionally break out of the woods in sight of your rig, you're a danger to yourself and others. We had two guys like that get stranded on the cliffs above town. It took some heroic helicopter work to get them off. It would have been a while without their cell phone, which they used to call for help. I spent 52 days on top of a mountain years ago. It was a fine experience.
