Is it me? I am becoming increasingly grumpy with the hikers who arrive at my door and expect water/directions/lifts/medical attention/a sit down/use my phone/a chat. I know I should offer things with a smile and love in my heart...but. If you are out in country like this you should:
Know where you are and where you are going
Know how to and be equipped to purify water
Not need a lift
Be fit enough to complete your walk
Not need to use a telephone
Have the right gear
Of course, if it's a serious medical problem or mountain resuce needs to be called I will always help but sometimes folks just bring it on themselves.
