  • Heather’s navigation inspires immediate distrust; the discussion questions whether she is really using the map.
  • Could climbing a tree reveal an escape route? The response notes the view might only show more trees.
  • Starting a forest fire to attract rescue is floated and immediately questioned for the destruction it would cause.
  • Did the witch make Mike discard the map, or was he simply tired and hungry?
  • Who found the equipment and when? Search parties in the documentary suggest authorities eventually found it.
  • How much danger did Heather knowingly lead them into? Her journals suggest more awareness, without establishing that she was evil.
