Good points.I truly believe there are only two possibilities here:
1 Chelsea is injured, or has succumbed to injuries, somewhere in the wilderness.
2 Chelsea is a victim of violence from someone she met during her trip.
A person with real or perceived mental illness/psychiatric disabilities, or even a person in visible crisis, is more likely to be targeted for violence than to willingly vanish. Of course there are people, prepared or not, that decide to live off the grid; they may even do so spontaneously. However, I think that scenario is rare. I would be remiss to not point out how common violence against women is, which also makes that possibility more likely than living off the grid.
I also want to point out that sometimes "going off the grid" simply means not going on social media. It could have been hyperbolic. I'm sure any one of us can relate to that feeling.
In reference to off the grid - There have been posts on this thread that indicate that this area where she has gone missing, is an area where there are many people living off the grid. I have no idea if this is true or not as I have never been there. I don't know anyone who has lived "off the grid" and feel it is totally uncommon but maybe not so much there in that area of Arizona.
She could have gone off with someone willingly or not, who was already living off the grid has always been my thought.
I hold out hope that she willingly went with someone and that she may resurface. JMO
