Then this is perfectly normal. Why would I answer a phone number I don't recognize when I'm out enjoying solitude? I imagine it was on DND and he never even saw the call.
What a weird article.
I looked up a full article.

He did lose his trail, but wasn't at the point where he wanted to call for help. It looks like he wasn't aware that, if a lodge host at popular hiking spots asks about your plans for the day, it isn't just small talk.
It was put out by "bigspam" to encourage you to answer their calls!!!
