DH disappeared from campsite

[HotSpoonToIt]

My DH went to the shop to get some bits for tea (shop 10 minute drive away) about an hour and a half ago. He isn’t answering his phone. We are on a camp site in the middle of nowhere. How long do I give it before I start stressing? And what do I do? Something about being so far from home is making me panic more than I normally would.

Oh goodness
I'm not sure what to say, is he the type to go for a sneaky pint?

He's found a pub to watch sport!

I wouldn't worry for a bit.

Gone to meet someone?

Probably went to a different shop further away or a pint?

Yes UK. He’s only gone to a petrol station type shop. I wouldn’t expect him to wander off. DC are asking where he’s got to.

I would also be getting worried at this point. Surely he wouldn't go to the pub knowing you were waiting for the food for tea?

I understand your worry-it isn’t usual for someone to be gone three times as long as needed. However, sometimes I deliberately dawdle in shops to have a break. Could he be doing that?

He’s not really the type to go for a pint on his own

Maybe they didn't have what he wanted to buy so has gone elsewhere. It would have to be a bit longer before I panicked to be honest.

Flat tyre?

If it was my husband he’d have spent an hour and a half driving to 4 different shops to get one specific item. Theres a good chance they didn’t have much in a petrol station type shop

Do you have find my friend or anything like that so you could see where he is? I would be worried too

Bad signal if you’re in the middle of nowhere?

Where in the UK are you? Remote area? I find campsite owners and general residents in remote areas are very open to helping out in ‘missing’ (apologies for dramatic word) situations. Speak to the campsite owner etc?

How long would it be until you panicked? I’m in a field in the middle of nowhere with no car and no idea what to do if he doesn’t come back. I know I’m getting anxious now but I don’t know the normal time to give it before I do “something”.

Hope he's back soon with a funny tale to tell.
Please keep us informed.

I think he’s gone to a supermarket instead, having found a limited choice in the petrol station.

Are you in the uk? It will help to know!!
Is everything ok between you?

Can you go to a camp manager for some support/local knowledge/possible shops & pubs?

He’s probably fine, just having some solo time in a poor signal area.
Keep the faith for a bit longer, then, if he doesn’t show up, call the police.

Does he usually pop out for longer when at home? pub? Helping a random local?

Does he have a location thing on this phone?

You could always ring the shop? Or speak to the camp shop owners?

Flat tyre, traffic jam, bumped into someone he knew, car won’t start ..lots of plausible scenarios.He’ll be back soon and you’ll be relieved..or cross!

That is odd, especially if you were waiting for him to get back with things and not answering his phone. Can you see his phone location on your phone?

Google the nearest supermarket to you, is that journey then a similar time to how long he’s been gone?

If it was my hubby I'd say for sure he's nipped in for a pint somewhere but he'd usually tell me. Can you track his location in anyway?

Hopefully he's just gone to a shop further away to get what you need and there's no phone signal

Worrying for you though
