Maybe you might leave the bag on for warmth.

At any rate, it might come in useful, as would the bottle if you found water. I think it's a bad sign if they are confirmed to have been hers.

Agreed you might leave it on the next day, but you definitely wouldn't remove it overnight, whatever you did the next dat. But if it was hers, why leave it and the water bottle.

If they removed it overnight I think that was when they needed to make a shelter out if it.

My thoughts when the bag was found, in what looked like a possible shelter, was that she could have hunkered down there and put it on to try to keep her warm overnight.

If she did do that and made it overnight, I can see why she might leave the heavy glass bottle if it was empty, but would have thought she'd take the bag in case she needed it again. Unless maybe she found it was no help overnight due to condensation.

Been following Rob's videos for a few months now.
If the water bottle and garbage bag are indeed hers, then she got close to the Water Race, which is quite an obvious pathway from the videos I 've seen.
The other question is if where they found the bottle and bag is where she spent the first night, and she was wearing the garbage bag to protect from the rain, she then took it off and left both it and the bottle in that location. If she had it on, surely you would only take it off the next morning.

Thanks for the great map, that does make it clearer. Seems she was almost back to the falls!

Do we know if it rained that night?
