• Alone
• Not telling anyone where she was going
• Driving off road in a car not suited for it
• Leaving the car
  • She has indicated that she was concussed in the accident and left the car in confusion - don't go alone
  • This is odd if concussed she didn't leave until the next day but then had the presence of mind to try to free the vehicle and to go west, as she has previously said
• No personal locator beacon (PLB) or sat phone
• No personal GPS
• No compass (she followed the Sun instead)
  • PLBs are now available for US$250 here
• Insufficient supplies
• Inappropriate attire
