Don’t expect “van lifers” to be smart. Came across a few and most of them did not have any camping, survival or military experience/training. They usually thought they had a hotel on 4 wheels and there will always be sun. And 99% of those people were doing yoga. Not saying there is a causation, but at least there is a correlation.
I’m surprised someone travelling in such a remote area wouldn’t have some type of satellite communicator, an Inreach type device or a PLB.
Even a modern iPhone.

It doesn’t even have to be that recent, an iPhone 13 will suffice. At least, to a certain extent.
