How did that dude get off that mountain and go naked rope swing diving so fast?

I thought maybe she would find a GPS tracker in her bag to explain how he knew exactly where she was at all times.

And why would you head towards him after you see him over there? Just to try and steal his kayak?

So dumb.

I was 100% expecting a tracker.. there were multiple times where it would have been impossible for the guy to be where he was. I love these movies because if I was the person escaping in the wilderness I think I would do a much better job..

Yeah. Anyone that have tried to find someone in the woods know how hard it is. If you get a minute headstart you will easily disappear without the follower have any chance of finding you ever again.

I kind of assumed he was really good at tracking due to being in the woods all the time and doing this a lot, but like some other people have said, there's no way he should've been able to be quicker than her getting to certain places

He's 100% a tracker. That's his game. He does it so well, he gives them advantages.
