I plan to eventually return to civilization too, along with some incredible memories and a perspective of the natural world that most human beings in modern times will never have. But when undertaking something like this, I think it's prudent to plan for the worst. I may not be able to get back when I want to get back. I may be forced by circumstance to remain out there longer than I would like. Who is going to know where to find me? Who is going to even know to start looking for me? No one. It will be totally on me to rescue myself, and I'm giving myself the best chance I can of accomplishing that.
