So that is how "helping the locals out" is going then? Requiring special forces to rescue you out of a self inflicted situation when they probably have enough other emergencies to attend to. Great effort!
"We thought we could just do it ourselves and would just find our way back" - yeah, tour guides are totally overrated. Even in thick jungle territory, right? I mean just put your mind to it and get it done yourself. And tell me, how did that magical thinking/manifesting work out for you?
She says if they make it through this they can make it through anything. They weren't the ones who got themselves out of this situation. Other people rescued them. On their own, they did not succeed in anything. Their tour guide said to find water, so they did. The others used flashlights to find them, when they'd wasted their battery for videos and photos. She literally filmed them being rescued. Use your phone flashlight to guide people to you, Dimmy!!!!!
She says she doesn't know how they lost their guide. I would bet good money that it was either veering off path to take a picture or just being to engrossed in taking pictures with juuuuuuuust the right pose.
"We stayed really positive throughout the whole thing" - the fact that they took pictures and videos when they barely had any battery left tells me that they didn't really grasp the seriousness of the situation at all.
ETA: in one of the pictures from the day she says they "decided to stay put" sitting by water. No love, your guide said that this is what you should do.
