How much time?

Garrett can survive a week
in the woods on his own.

We went through the same training.

And if I were out there myself,
the first thing I would do

is look for higher ground
where there's plenty of rock

and nothing for the fire to burn.

Right now, he's probably
climbing up some peak

trying to signal a helitack unit.
