Well prepared for an emergency or planned extended stay? :@

A simple compass could have helped him find his way out. :R

I saw nothing in the article indicating he was lost. What I did see though, was "Chow sustained minor injuries...". If one of those minor injuries was a wrenched knee or badly twisted ankle, for instance, a compass makes a lousy crutch. ;)
