Injured in the backcountry

Damn, I'm sorry to hear about that. I know those mountains and that is not gentle terrain by any standard. I spent years ultrarunning and rockclimbing in that area and doing botanical surveys for rare plants led me to some really beautiful places in that range. Most of my time out there was solo, and I often thought about what would happen if I got hurt like you did. Fortunately, the worst I suffered was daily mild dehydration and heat stress, along with the inevitable minor scrapes and other boo boos.
