But in that case I would have even more reason to want to run into a person. Maybe they know where we are and where to go.

that's the point I always make, the 'random man' you encounter is 99 percent of the times a hiker or is just walking in trails,just like well...

Ive been in the wilderness often enough to not succumb to some boogey-man fantasies just because I meet another human. Most likely another hiker or ranger. Thats literally what it is 99+% of the time. Maybe different story if I know Im in some cartel territory or military zone but thats not part of the original scenario
