Yep when I heard this story the more I learned about it the more stupid it made him out to be. The story kept emphasizing that he survived by drinking lots of water.. well duh that’s the minimum required to live for 10 days, but he didn’t bring any food or clothes and had no wilderness skills whatsoever? Caused a huge issue to save him
If he hadn’t drank a lot of water he’d be dead within two or three days. Exposure is something not a lot of people expect to get them, but that’s what really does it.
Never mind the heat wave the country is experiencing.
We humans are funny like that we see people go do stupid things and then we all rally together and pour huge resources into finding them. Only to find out what they did was all stupid. Meanwhile people wont even help make a decent society for the decent hard working people who don't cause a bunch of trouble.
Yea, the first thing I saw written about this guy was titled something like, "Man missing 10 days survived by drinking a gallon of water a day!" I'm like, that's more than I drink on any given day.
