Quotes by Susan Purvis  (?)

“If we want to work, I’m gonna have to go knock on a few doors. I need to be like Jehovah’s Witnesses or the Amway lady. Who would have thought I’d have to go sell myself and my dog?”
― Susan Purvis, Go Find: My Journey to Find the Lost—and Myself

“Most people who are lost can’t let themselves see that they’re lost, don’t want to hear about it or feel it. And when they deny reality, they keep themselves from learning from it, from solving the problem that’s right in front of them.”
― Susan Purvis, Go Find: My Journey to Find the Lost—and Myself

“Hi. My name is Sue. Have some Gu, Let me put this under you.

IF you ask anyone who has ever taken a wilderness medicine course from me, this is how they remember me. This is what we say to someone we find injured or lost in the backcountry. Introduce yourself, add sugars and insulation to the patient.”
