    he really nails the feeling of getting lost on a trip.

      He left when he heard there was gonna be a lockdown which is exactly the opposite of what he should have done (and likely how the virus kept spreading further). Had he been casually in the Mentawais unable to get home, that would have been a cool story. Instead, it was irresponsible and very selfish of him. And now he is selling his story. This is worth disliking.
