Got an update from the news. They interviewed Jack and he indeed did get lost. When I used to work with him 20 years ago he hunted that area but according to the news hadn't been up there in the Kingdom for some time. He didn't have a GPS and not sure about compass. I suspect what must have happened is he did get twisted around and being 72 years old probably wasn't far from camp. Things change in that flat swamp area depending on timber cutting and he probably thought he was in one place based on his memory and wasn't. He survived at night by finding depressions with logs over and making a bed of leaves for cover from the cold. They found him about 3 miles from the border and he is OK.
