I've always wondered why lsdfags love nature so much. It's the worse fucking place for a junkie to be.

I read a creepypasta about this once. In the story, if you go really deep into the wilderness, you might accidentally wander into a hole in the space time continuum (or something like that). It could teleport you anywhere on the planet, and in any time period. So Dennis Martin here might be miles down in the earth's crust, 10,000 years in the past.

>said wilderness is visited by millions upon millions of people each year

...

>op wonders why so many people go missing in it

OP, how about other locations? Like how many people visit x place or city vs how many people go missing in those places vs the same states for national parks? You need to do this for tourists. Like how many tourists visit NYC then go missing or something.

After that, access your question again.

is this more or less plausible than him getting taken by a Sasquatch?

Less.

Kiwifag here, around 2 months ago a German tourist got lost in Mt Egmont national park. That place is a fucking kids park, it's the middle of summer and it's only around a 9 hour walk until you reach farmland, and probably only 2 days if your sense of direction is completely fucked.
They buzzed helis around for a solid month and had dogs all through the bush, and found nothing. So I'm guessing she didn't break a leg or else the dogs would have found her.
Or she just tried to fake her death.

>>1048794
>>1048808
These answer pretty much everything.

Even when someone dies after getting lost there's a pretty good chance the body will get scavenged before anyone finds it. Just think of how few people who go to the US national parks ever actually go into the back country. Now reduce that small percentage to the number that wander around off-trail.

Or they're in Yellowstone and they fall into one of the acid hot springs.

>>1048857
Same kiwifag from the post above you, I got shown a picture of a body they found in a hot pit when I was doing goat control for a summer. Theyre no joke, normally theyre covered with bush and then you fall 5 meters and land in boiling mud.

fbi pls go and stay go

I live in Alaska and I went looking for a hiker earlier this week, she's still missing and the troopers called off the search. Couple of years ago and it was the same thing, in our town, they go hiking and the police find the cars at the trail heads and you never see them again. The nickname for it is the "Alaska Triangle"

>>1048789
yeah sure and when die you go to some happy sky place where virgin maidens will caress your pee pee on the lap of sky daddy who loves you even tho you are a dirty goatfucker.

I wouldn't worry about it.

>>1049030
Someone should open up a PLB shop in your town and put ad signs at all the trail heads. You might make some money.

>>1049124
fbi i said leave

>>1048794
For national parks
305 million visitors in 2015
330 million in 2016
More this year as average growth is 7% a year

So yeah chances are low as fuck somthing will happen for normal tourists, hikers, hunters and people doing sport.
Missing people can happen, accidents happen, corpses are hard to find. Hell think dead deer, piles of them die all the time yet you rarely find corpses. They get eaten and the bones scattered and covered by foliage.

Like that lady that was found like half a year ago that got posted here a lot. That got lost and lived for 26 days till death, Geraldine Largay, on the appalapian trail or so. Found 2 years later by pure chance because of her big tent.
But spooky storys can be sold, books, videos its click bait and murderporn.

Random car accidents have higher risks etc

>>1048780
In germany, even though the forrests arent that big normally, people sometimes cannot find back to trails etc, because they simply start wandering in circles. By that, people can sometimes get out, even though they are only a kilometer away from the next village.

Furthermore, rapists...

You can't really fix stupid. People go to these places thinking they can't get hurt and common sense goes out the window because they're on vacation. Just look at how many people try to take selfies with bison or moose and gored every year, now multiply that stupidity by wandering off into the wilderness and of course people are going to go missing.

>>1048789
Are there pastas about portal to Gensokyo? Sounds as much plausible.

Some of these are accidents, they probably fell or were horrible unprepared. But I do think some were killed by another person, there have been multiple /out/ serial killers before.

>>1048780
Some people go into the wild with the intent of getting lost.

>>1048787

This
As an older person, I think about the end of my life
After my last pet dies, it wouldn't be too bad just to walk into the mountains and kill myself there
I would like to think it wouldn't leave as much of a mess
Am I being naive?

>>1048784
Basically this, but I bet there's some occasional wolf/mountain lion/bear activity going on when the victim is really old or really young and there are no other humans around.

>>1049453
How old are you? Wtf are you doing on /out/?

>>1049500

Been shitposting since 96
There have been older people on 4chan since the beginning
Been going /out/ since the 70s

>>1049558
>49
Oh fuck off you ain't that old, I thought you were past 70s due to your crazy talk. Also don't end yourself dude.

>>1049559
Different anon here, but just because you think about death doesn't mean you're suicidal. I started going gray prematurely and went through a year-long weird period where I thought multiple times a day about getting old and eventually dying.

Sometimes when I'm backpacking and watching the sunset with my coffee in the evenings I'll still think about what it will be like to get old and die. It's oddly comfy to think about.

Plus, now I'm early thirties with sophisticated-looking broad white streaks at my temples.

When i die i want my famalam to helicopter over a large forest and just dump my body out the door. Kind of a sky burial.

>>1048780
About 20 years ago a family was camping in Joshua Tree, youngest daughter disappears. They call cops, cops look around, find nothing, sorry folks.
Family hires detective, he finds 29 Palms, Yucca Valley, Landers has highest percentage of registered sex offenders in California, never find girl.
That area still gives the creeps and I grew up in the high desert and have met my fair share of creepy people when /out/.

>>1049453
That's very considerate Anon. I've thought about someone finding my bloated, stinky, disgusting corpse and how unpleasant that would be, not to mention how much it would lower resale value of my house.

>>1049558
Been here 13 years since this past January.

>>1049564
Every time I get to the top of a mountain I look at the beautiful view below me and think about the fact that I only have a limited amount of time left to do these things.

>>1049564
Well I have seen a couple gray hairs to appear but I don't give a shit, worse than that is going bald but again, who fucking cares? It's not like when I had a head full of beautiful, long brown hair I was slashing more pussy than I do nowadays lel.

>>1049571
That sounds fun, but you still have tons of good years ahead so stay sharp. A couple weekends ago I was camping with my dad and he is almost 10 years your age, and despite some beer belly he still rocks it.

>>1049571
Dude that reminds of how my buddy wants to be buried when he dies. He wants to be thrown out of something flying over the streets of New York while wearing a superman costume. Kek

>>1049126
They may or may not work. I always lose a GPS signal. I'm at the point now that I only make one waypoint where I parked.

>In February, Bryan Skilinski, 40, was rescued from Colorado’s Great Sand Dunes National Park. The New York resident had spent five nights in freezing temps with no survival gear.

Three months later, he returned. Only this time he wasn’t so lucky.

>Hikers found Skilinski’s body on June 28. But while there were clues to his time in the park, his death raises questions

He was either really stupid or trying to kill himself. He started at the Sand Pit and hiked over to Milwaukee peak. I'm presuming it was a ridge hike. That had to be a soft snow slog from hell as the sun would be nailing it early. I'm betting he was some weirdo or trying to kill himself.

the spoopy thing is when SAR teams go over specific areas multiple times and find nothing, and then a year later a skull and clothing is found in the area they previously focused on, like in the case of Jaryd Atadero

isnt there a massive military base there? creepy shit goes down in the desert, and I have a feeling the government knows whats going on/complicit

>>1048780
Some 55 y/o man sees this thread and goes 'Oh, shit, that name sounds familiar for some unknown reason... oh, well."

>>1049453
I wouldn't off myself intentionally, but when I do go, I can't think of a more fitting sendoff than being food for some hungry mountain lion or wolf pack. That is truly being one with nature.

Is getting mauled by a feral predator considered 'natural causes'?
