Through the same hole you give you receive. Never say never in the
wilderness.
I hitch hike a lot on my backpacking trips. The kindness I receive from some
these unprepared day hikers by offering me a ride way out of their way. I
could never repay. Keep an open heart and give willingly. Someday you will
receive much larger them you gave. You may have saved a life. You may never
get your flashlight back, but they may return you act of kindness to someone
else. Keep the faith.

Last Spring, I was descending from Half Dome in Yosemite and met a couple
with their young children in tow..hiking up...at 2:00 PM, there was no way
for them to summit and make it back down during daylight...but did either of
them pack a flashlight ?? NO....but,I did...even though I knew that I would
be able to complete my trip while the sun was still up....just in
case....These are candidates for Natural Selection...why should we be
fighting nature ??
