Hi...


Don't know if this was posted yet, but I saw a few seconds of something, and managed to pull it up on Yahoo.

02-18-12 BBC News Europe

A Swedish man has survived being trapped in his snow-covered car for TWO MONTHS WITHOUT FOOD, police say.

The Car was found Friday at the end of a forest track more than 1 km from a main road in northern Sweden.

Police said the temp in the area had recently dropped to -22 F.

(Many more details are in the report).

I wonder if he was like me....and still had all of the extra food, clothes, hiking gear, etc. in his car that I shrink wrapped last summer for my multiple AT section hikes?

So did he live in the car or was he trapped in it? If trapped with no food, does this mean he ate the leather upholstry?

I jus read it http://www.emirates247.com/offbeat/man-stuck-in-snowed-in-car-since-dec-19-survives-2012-02-19-1.443715 He says he was IN THE CAR since 12/19. Maybe he was on a three month road trip and was just trapped in snow for a week. the brilliant doctor says he was hibernating.

Hi...


Just think of the weight and money you'll now save now by not carrying any food on the trail with you...!!
