FYI, "third world" is culturally insensitive, if not racist. Hell, even "developing countries" is ethnocentric at its core. Of course, "historically exploited, oppressed, exsanguinated nations" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. 😅
And, yeah, after volunteering w/ anti-trafficking orgs in the PacNW, I learned that NE OR is a notorious crossover for that and worse.
Vast tracts of wild foothills, deep gorges, alpine mountains, dense forests, geolithic scatter, et al, are a added obstacular layers to justice groups.
For example, The Hunted was not unrealistic in its depiction. Meek's Cutoff, Leave No Trace, Pig, and even the classic Stand By Me are right up there, too. (FWIW, Wild is a honorable mention for showcasing the diverse, and largely untouched backcountry along the PCT) 🤘🏼
