Unacceptable? Why?
It's not like she took off into the woods with nothing but a compass and a book of matches.
Both her friend she spoke to on the phone and the nice man who rented her the cabin knew where she was. She told the sheriff when she met him she planned to be there for months, so she must have planned access to facilities for food and laundry.
She had a car, a computer (for email/Skype) and a cell phone, which in all fairness she did kill by dropping it in water.
Didn't Johnny say when giving her directions that the cabin was @ 10 miles back from the gas station? That's a ways back but not unreasonably out of civilisation's reach.
It's not something I would do either - I'm a city girl myself - but she specifically told her friend on the phone she worked better that way, i.e. out in the boonies. Different strokes, I guess.

Anytime you travel, you risk not knowing about your phones reception, and in case of an emergency, a young woman should at least have a weapon with her. She was alone, and surrounded by forest.
Other then her cellphone, she had nothing.

She had mace. I don't think it was enough, personally, but she had that at least.

Well most people don't expect to be attacked by group of sadistic rednecks, Jason Voorhees or giant frog from outer-space while going to vacation.

I don't know how would a phone or the internet work in bumfark no where. The very least thing she should've had was a all weather sat phone.
