Well we know this is false.

Lee thinks a lot about Gerry’s trail habits, too. Like most thru-hikers, she would always leave her backpack on the trail when she stepped off to relieve herself. Even if she had gotten disoriented while doing so, her pack would have been found.

She was found with her pack.

Right she had her pack so we still don't know what happened. And by the way that is not considered a good practice to every leave your pack alone if you are in area where the may be bears. they have been known to grab them if no humans are around. now if you are with 2 people then leaving it behind with a person is ok.

Well we haven't seen her journal but it's been reported that in her journal she said she took a pee then got disoriented.

Didn't it say "relieve herself"? Couldn't that also mean she took a dump?
Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

Hiking isn't a skill, it's a set of skills, one of which is navigation. Perhaps she was tough and great at going long distances, but a shitty navigator. That means she's not good at hiking.

Exactly. Being experienced doesn't necessarily mean competent. My wife's been driving for 15 years now....
