Mike Vilhauer's story
Mike Vilhauer, who was fishing in California, was lost for over a week in the woods. He had lost his direction and was headed back too late so he settled under a pine for shelter from the scorching sun. He became thirsty and hungry again the next day, so he took a drink from puddles. He walked around circles the next day trying to find his way to civilization.
After five days of hiking in the mountains, Mike had a revelation: He realized he was completely lost and needed help. He wrote to his loved ones explaining his dilemma and apologizing. He saw a helicopter over his head on Aug. 10. He raised his arms to attract attention from the pilot. The rescue crews arrived from as many as nine counties including Nevada.
Adrian Knopps' story
After surviving a bear hunt, Adrian Knopps, an electrician, survived seven days in Alaskan wilderness wilderness alone. Knopps was desperate for help as the two men had separated. Knopps's partner had fled into rife and left him alone surrounded only by bears, wolves packs, and other animals. He was experiencing hypothermia and hallucinations as a result of the storm that battered them at 70 mph. Coast Guard officials assured him that they had never seen anyone survive in such wilderness conditions.
Knopps was soaked through the bone when the storm ravaged. He suffered hypothermia and exhaustion but never lost his faith. The Coast Guard contacted his wife and helicoptered to help. Knopps was left in severe hypothermia with hallucinations and swelling of his feet and joints. But, he never lost hope. He still considers it a freak accident that happened for no apparent reason.
