[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5733379, member: 56189"] I'm going to guess that you haven't done much hiking or bush-walking. It's easy to think with modern sensibilities when you haven't experienced the wilds beyond a manicured park bench. Even sparse forests will limit vision to a couple of hundred feet and between trees, scrub, gullies, rivers and wildlife, sound doesn't travel as well as you might think. Concrete and glass generally echo sound, trees and rocks generally absorb it. Walk a hundred feet or so and you won't be able to see your friends or determine where they are based on shouts. Hell, she might've heard them and tried to run towards them only to find herself running further away, not closer, and that's not even taking terrain into account which would force her to travel in certain directions. A panicked city-kid who'd just almost been zombie-food getting lost in a massive forest and being hard to find with a small search party of inexperienced (only Rick, Shane and Daryl really know what they're doing) 'rescuers' really isn't that far from reality. In fact, if they HAD found her after just a couple of days, I think I would've had a harder time believing that. The real mistake was in Rick telling her to run back to camp. He should've just told her to stay put. Before you say that it would've been easy to follow Rick's directions, first consider that she's panicking, out of breath, and even if she HAD heard and understood his directions, following them would be next to impossible anyway; the likelihood of her getting lost on her way back was FAR higher than her finding her way.
