I would venture to say your typical abandoned camp is a crap tent, tarp and a couple non essentials...
All to often the pic provided is related to a medical emergency or more common suicide..no criminal activity.
And often missing person reports don't reach the areas where someone is missing..
I just think the situation warrants further investigation... :twocents:

Agreed. Whoever it was left behind a lot of valuable equipment. If the picture is how the stuff was found, it looks like they were in a hurry to get out of there. :dunno:
WapitiTalk1:
Really strange; lots of gear left behind. OP, does the pic show how everything was positioned as you found it? Just curious.

Best case scenerio here. You mentioned drop off, did you take a peek?

I had a situation once that could have resulted in this. Packed in like that for elk, hunted elk, killed the elk, packed out elk with Dad and stock and had to return to my camp three days later to retrieve. I could have just left it... but of course did not.

I could show you 10 abandoned camps in the Gifford Pinch that are worse then that.
People don't care about the impact on others.
It's all about their immediate needs.
Last time I was on Tatoosh during bear season there was a large group having a wedding at the lookout complete with music and all.
Won't be long and our Wilderness areas will need roundabouts on the trails.
