This baffles me. There is no way ever, even my worst enemy, would I not investigate the sounds of another human being crying for help in the middle of the woods. If they were in ear shot, they were in foot shot. I am not here to judge and I know everybody does things differently in certain situations but I would have never thought to sit there and not do anything because they sounded a "mile" a way. If I was that person and i survived whatever it was that was happening to me and I learned that someone was within hearing distance of me and they never showed up to help, i would be pissed. But to each his own, you do stuff your way, I do stuff differently.
