Today, my friends and I spent a little too long enjoying a beautiful cliff overlooking the ocean. We spent the next 3 hours lost in a pitch black jungle with only one pocket-sized flashlight. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my friends and I went camping. In the middle of the night, they carried me deep into the forest and left me there. I stepped on a beehive as I walked back to the tent. FML
Today, I went on a hiking date with my significant other. Trying to be adventurous and assertive, I suggested we take a shortcut through the woods. We got hopelessly lost and ended up spending the night in a deserted ranger station. Turns out, my idea of adventure is not quite as romantic as it sounds. FML
Today, I went for a hike with the local search and rescue volunteer group that I recently joined. I got lost and spent 5 hours wandering aimlessly. FML
Today, I went on a hike with friends, but as I'm the worst outdoorsperson because I rarely venture outside of the city, I ended up getting lost in some woods after straying from our group. I ended up having to call 911 to be rescued. My friends will absolutely not let me live this ordeal down. FML
Today, my family and I went on a hike to a local abandoned gold mine, with the hopes of being able to explore the caves. What we didn't expect was four miles of treacherous, rocky, near vertical trails that led to the mine. Once we finally got there, exhausted, it was blocked off for safety reasons. FML
Today, I went on a relaxing nature hike to de-stress. I got lost for hours, encountered a bear, and had to play dead, only for the bear to steal my sandwich then sit there for hours before finally leaving. FML
Today, my friends and I went camping in the woods. I fell asleep first. Waking up hours later to them bunched up together in the middle of the tent and me half-way outside, I confronted them about it. They admitted, "We heard a bear so we needed a sacrifice." FML
Today, I tagged along with some friends to a party in the woods. Halfway into the night, a party-goer's boyfriend got extremely drunk and violent, causing the others to panic and drive away in the two cars we pooled in. My best friend and I had to run all the way back home on foot. FML
Today, my friends convinced me to go on a "short" hike. Little did I know, they're actually all avid hikers, whilst I'm more of an "indoor enthusiast." I've now been climbing a never-ending hill for hours, hallucinating about my cozy couch, and praying for a miracle to deliver pizza to the summit. FML
Today, I agreed to go on a last-minute road trip with my friends. Everything was going great until we realized we had no GPS signal in the middle of nowhere. We ended up following a "shortcut" suggested by a farmer and got stuck in a muddy field for hours, with livestock giving us judgmental looks. FML

Did you find all 8 pages?

So you knew you were in a fairly remote area and that nightfall would approach sometime, and you didn't plan ahead at all and brought only a flashlight? Sounds reasonable.

OP your so lucky to be alive. Be happy and consider this a story to tell to your future grandkids. I know what a near death experience feels like. I was in a car accident on the 4th of July this year that almost had me left for dead. A hit and run car accident. Our car swerved to the dirt road, went 6ft in the air then flipped over 3 times leaving my dad and I trapped upside down inside our car on the 210 freeway. I thought our car was on fire.

Can't you swim? How big is Guam, anyway?

OK, I looked it up. It seems there are 2 million snakes on the island. Have fun :)

I'm originally from Guam and this argument is blown way out of proportion. Sure there are snakes but really? Millions? I call BS. Besides, what makes my home any different from the mainland having poisonous ones? Oh that's right, Brown tree snakes aren't poisonous! Jeez America, learn more, especially about territories that belong to you.

Always be prepared. People under estimate how quickly things can get out of hand.

That's why I never leave home without my flamethrower, back up flamethrower, back up to my backup flamethrower, shotgun, pistol, silver dagger, two hundred feet of steel cable, twenty twist ties, two bags of candy, three cellphones, bottle of dead mans blood, a pint of salt, three gold coins taken from the pocket of a dead man, Eye of Neut, GPS and extra batteries. Oh and my trusty lamp (just in case I meet an old lamp salesman who is willing to trade a new one for that old dusty one he happens to have). I tried carrying more but it wouldn't fit. I'm unprepared I know, but the rest is at one of my thirty bomb shelters... One man can only carry so much. When the unexpected strikes, I will be ready.
