Dangers associated with hiking in Hawai'i
#8
We do lose some visitors every year to lack of preparedness. Eightfingers is wise to ask for advice. A year ago or two ago Texas visitor got lost on the flows for three days or so. Finally got spotted by a tour copter. Some lost hikers never get spotted - never get found.
They just disappear. I don;t think that the visitor who disappeared on Mauna Kea was ever found.

Not a walk in the park to go off trail. I've almost fallen into a lava tube. Close call.
Assume the best and ask questions.
