>>2846394I've done this before, not fun. Ever since a particularly difficult incident I carry a flashlight or headlamp in my bag if there's any risk at all of me being held-up or late.
Fun fax: I live at the edge of a long branching national park that sprawls many miles of a river valley and is surrounded by suburbs, so sometimes if I'm out at the pub or shopping at opposite suburbs it's much easier for me to hike through the park 30mins to get back and forth, rather than deal with going all the way around via busses etc. I got hung up at the pub with some friends once and by 2am the busses weren't coming so I bushwalked home with just the little lamp on my phone which had like 10% battery so I had to use my night vision mostly and just occasionally check for giant spider webs blocking the path. I almost walked into about 5 garden orbs which build their nets across the entire trail at night
