True. I sprained my ankles in a remote wooded park on two different occasions (once I slipped on the ice and sprained one ankle, another time I tripped and sprained both of them, yes I am clumsy ). This was in ancient times before cellphones were invented. I had no choice but to get up and limp the 1.5 miles out, best to get moving before the swelling sets in.

Plus, I figured even if someone found me, what could they do for me to help anyway, carry me?

You walked out on 2 sprained ankles? Ouch.

It may be possible to crawl out, but I doubt the knees could take 1.5 miles without getting seriously damaged as well.

It wasn't as bad as you might think. It hurt, but afterwards, after I got home, sat down, and the swelling set in, it was much worse and couldn't bear any weight.
