They obviously didn't feel like they were lost then
What does "lost" mean? Does it mean you don't know where you are, or you don't know how to get where you are going or both?

Answer your damn phone if you’re lost in the woods
Leave a fricking voice-mail if you keep calling someone and they don't answer.
The only phone that I answer 99% of the time is my work cell. If you call my personal cell and your number isn't in my phone, I'm not answering. If you don't leave a voice-mail, I'm not calling you back.

Assuming it could be transcribed. Otherwise, gross.

I probably answer 10% of the phone calls I receive.
I actually have mine set to silence unknown calls. If the number is vaguely familiar, I’ll call them back. Otherwise, if it’s important enough, they’ll leave a message.

A hiker lost on a mountain in Colorado ignored repeated calls from rescuers — later explaining that they had been unfamiliar with the phone number, authorities said.

If he considered himself lost and had cell service, wouldn't he have called somebody who would have relayed the situation to searchers?

If he was somewhere with cell service was he really lost?

This is proper procedure.

are you required to give your cell # to some authority before going on a hike? How would the responders have had the cell # to begin with?
if I hadn't given some group my number that could save me, I would also not answer the call.

SIR WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR CAR'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. PLEASE MY FRIEND.

A hiker is deemed lost after they've been gone for 24 hours? Seems like someone reported it too soon.
Posted on 10/26/21 at 12:26 pm to carhartt
Who would want a call from bill collectors or some a-hole trying to sell extended car warranties when they are lost in the woods? Not me.

There’s a reason they were vague about the details of the idiot that got lost.
It must have been a Black Trans Woman.
Or Joe Biden.

“Heard you were lost in the woods. All we need to rescue you is your social security number, bank routing info, and mother’s maiden name.

He walked away from a group hike and spent the night on the mountain, probably because he was sick of someone's shite in the group. He was back at his car the next morning and drove home.
That's not being lost, that's camping.
Except those plans went against their itinerary that it seems clear they shared with someone. Which is what you should do.
You don't deviate from the plan without updating your friend/family. Clearly they had service.
