I have hunted Humboldt County and I believe the techniques for staying found even more impotant in the West. Most of my hunting is eastern whitetail but even the crowded eastern whitetail woods can make a difficult search if you are not sure where to start!
I agree 100%. The theory of staying put and waiting for a rescue is key if where you are is a place that can withstand survival for a few days. The hunter that I speak of made a shelter about 3 miles from his vehicle and when the party found it 3 days in he was not there and no where to be found...if he had of stayed there...who knows?
Humboldt county is a big and potentially dangerous place if your back in the hills backpacking in many many miles...knowing what to do if you get lost or injured would be key to potential survival assuming someone knows where abouts you are at.
