What to do when stepping off trail for potty break?

Her former hiking partner has said that Inchworm had a poor sense of direction, no compass or orienteering skills, and got lost a lot. She probably shouldn't have been hiking alone. So what's off with this story?

No probably about it, she most definitely had no business hiking alone. What I don't understand is why her husband and her friend appearently made no effort to convince Inchworm to not continue solo.
