So discovered 12 year-old Jamie Neale
from Britain who was lost for 12 days in the Australian bush without a cell phone. Not only is this a good cautionary tale - always carry your mobile! - but it provides us the excuse to share Jamie's father's reaction:
"When I've seen the mistake after mistake he's made," he said, "I can't say I'd kill him, because that would spoil the point of him coming back, but yeah, I'm going to kick his a-- because I appreciate the millions that have been spent on the search, the man (and woman) hours, that have gone into it, the people that have been injured, the people that have been exhausted, all because he goes out on a walk without his mobile phone."
Welcome home son. Now get yourself a
GPS unit.
