What the hell is a fork in a field? Fields don’t have forks, that’s what makes them fields.

While this obviously is not the case here, it could be a field with very tall plants like Corn or Wheat. Sometimes they have pathways that fork and you cannot see over the plants.

Yeah and if that’s the case, it’s also likely you can’t do a good job of forcing yourself through the actual crop.

Please read my comment again. I specifically said, "while this is obviously not the case here." All I was trying to say is that some fields can certainly have forks. All fields are not just flat grass.

Cause it's reddit. People expect the article to be summarised and are here for the comments and will move on.

The article actually says,

>The 62-year-old came to an open field and was met with a choice — two wooded areas with a small clearing in between. Link, an ex-Marine and former supervisor for Hernando County parks, said he decided on intuition alone. He would go to the woods on his left.

Which makes more sense.

It's just the writer taking poetic license. Making a choice of which direction to walk in is all you're doing when you're working on a search crew. Hopefully a grid approach has been discussed with a team, but this may have been the work of a lone-wolf amateur seeker.

It’s a field in the middle of a forest. So when you enter it, there is a forest to the right and left. He went left and the boy was in that forest area.

Oh but they do- if the fields are sprawling enough. There’s paths abound, always.

Happy the kid was found.

A found that bit of detail a bit unnecesary for a title as it doesn't make the article more attractive to read. If he found the child, he obviously chose the correct path. It sounds like they are trying to imply the gug had some kind of supernatural ability.

It's this whole title. The rescuer wasn't using CGI.
